This sounds like a kernel misfeature, and /me checks
fs/devpts/inode.c... Yup, looks like it.

System security doesn't seem too much affected because it only resets
to root:root 600 (a tighter permission than the default).

Looking at the source, it doesn't have any interface exposing the
current configuration.  Hmm...
