home directory permissions (bug?)

Neither is actually "broken"; which one is right depends on your
prefered level of default security, and whether or not you want to
share data with other users.

However, the defaults should be consistent; can you please file a bug?
Then the most suitable default can be discussed there.

Having no access at all for other users is not the right default IMHO.
At least, it should be 701 to allow Apache to read ~/public_html.

Thanks for spotting this!
