I'm not sure if it is the cause, but what are your default ACLs for the 
directory in question?

When you copy in a file from Windows, I think that it will preserve its
permissions, but if you edit and save, you are actually creating a new
file, which will be created based on the defaults for that location/user.

Check the output of 'gefacl -d teste'.
