Hmm ...

They are writeable here (with 1 urxvt running):

/dev/pts:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root    root      0 Jan  2 22:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root    root   3960 Jan  2 22:28 ..
crw--w----  1 michael tty  136, 0 Jan  2 22:36 0
crw--w----  1 michael tty  136, 1 Jan  2 22:51 1

and with without the writeable bit for group when I also fire a konsole:

$ ls -la /dev/pts
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root    root      0 Jan  2 22:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root    root   3960 Jan  2 22:28 ..
crw--w----  1 michael tty  136, 0 Jan  2 22:36 0
crw--w----  1 michael tty  136, 1 Jan  2 22:52 1
crw-------  1 michael tty  136, 2 Jan  2 22:55 2

So, the konsole seems to run with more restrictions than urxvt?
