Eric Snow added the comment:

So this boils down to set_data() not having a mode parameter, right?   Alas, 
the obvious approach, adding it, breaks backward compatibility.  The 
alternative is to use source_from_cache() in set_data() to get the source path, 
and then get the mode there.  Of course, differentiating between the use cases 
for set_data() seems important there too.  In short, "It may be rather hard to 
fix given the limitations of the set_data API".

Regardless, we'll need to be careful to use the loader's cache to avoid extra 
stat calls.

Also, we have to factor in issue6074 (basically do "mode | 0o600").  We'll need 
at least one more test to cover that (as Nick noted in that issue).

I have a patch that is close, but my eyes are getting a little heavy.  
Hopefully I'll have that up tomorrow.
