You do need to have +x on all directories leading up to the directory that Apache wants access to. You don't need +r on /home/foo, for example, but you do need +x. And make sure you have +rx on /home/foo/www or /home/foo/public_html or whatever.
The security implication is that any +r directories under /home/foo anyone can get access to and read, but other than that, I'm not sure if there are any other problems. -Mark PS I'm back!
