Discussed with Patrick.

This affects Linux.

The issue is User bitmask privileges take precedence over Other bitmask privileges.

i.e. 0066 permissions would not result in a writable file for the owner of that file, but would for some random other user.

That's news to us, but ok.

Also, addon registry hooks were not being checked for get_chmod_array like they should have been via fixperms.php. Also fixed.
