This happens because we now use mkstemp() to create temporary files
in many places, and mkstemp() locks down permissions to 0600. The temp
file is then copied to the working copy and permissions aren't adjusted.
So the (very old) bug you ran into is that instead of adjusting permissions,
svn is using the permissions of the tempfile unaltered, even though those
permissions might not make sense in the WC.
Note that on win32 all files inherit their perms from their parent
folder and we have no way to override this yet. So this problem only
happens on UNIX.

I ran into a similar problem before, see r40275. Specifically, see the change
made to libsvn_wc/copy.c:copy_file_administratively in r40275. It shows an
example of how the problem can be fixed by doing a single svn_io_copy_perms()
call after installing the temp file in the working copy. If there is no
source file to copy perms from (you can even pass NULL for 'src'), the
destination will automatically get default permissions, which should honour
the umask.
