Stop. Shouldn't they be 1777? Because now:
A: xfs cannot cd to /tmp
B: the tidbit is not set. I didn't dig too much on this but it seems
that xfs and other love to have it there...

Naturally if /tmp is 666 (numerologists outta here!)

Well, xfs script does not seem to check how its "l'ill child" lives for
the first 1-2 minutes. In one point that's natural. xfs daemon seems to
be quite slow on starting and waiting for its full launch would slow the
boot sequence. On the other side, these {PASSED] or [OK} can lead to
some confusions. I think that there should be some order on this. Maybe
add/substitute [LAUNCHED] (or similar) for such daemons. squid is also a
good candidate for such thing, as it takes a few minutes to launch a 4Gb
cache on a PPro.
