I cannot reproduce this. I tried:

bash> umask
0022
bash> touch a.py; chmod 600 a.py; ls -l a.py
-rw------- 1 gm gm 0 Nov  7 23:47 a.py
bash> emacs-23.1 -Q a.py &

Then in Emacs, type some text in a.py and save it with C-x C-s.
The file's permissions are unchanged.

Please give a complete recipe starting from `emacs -Q', and include the
details from M-x report-emacs-bug about your system and Emacs.
