Yes. This is due to a somewhat buggy change in 2.5.43.
(In the good old days umask had a well-defined meaning;
today on recent 2.5 and with vfat, but not with ntfs,
it means something else.)
The correct change would have been to add both dmask and fmask,
just like ntfs did, and leave the meaning of umask alone.
(I made a patch a few days ago, but have not yet found
the time to submit it to Linus. Maybe tomorrow,
if nobody else does it first.)
