I'm not sure how your system is configured but it I don't get it... Why would you think that? The file as it uploads is mode 600 == umask 177; the file as dropped into place is 666 == 111. Nothing like a mask of 11 (which would leave us a mode of 766) has shown up... % seems the user apache is running under has that umask set that way % which, IMO, is a bad thing (tm).
