    This is off-topic for Emacs, but let me rephrase that to say that you
    have an uncommon setting of umask. For example, I do not know of any
    distribution that has such a mask by default for user accounts. So
    people who have given themselves such a umask presumably know what they
    are doing and how to deal with any file permission issues that may occur
    as a result.

As a general point, there is no reason Emacs should not help users
work around problems they may encounter, even just a few users.

But I agree there is no need in this case.  The crucial point
is knowing that bzr can cope with making the file read-only.
