After further digging this is an issue with the file kioslave
(kioslave/file/file.cc) not accepting a umask while using pmount.  In
multiuser graphical environments, the ability to set umask is very
important.

If the ioslave accepted a umask, both users would be able to access the
mounted device and this wouldn't appear "random".
