That's not all... The workaround works.
But I don''t think the problem is related to udev. I installed a small testscript that runs during boot before udev starts. It sets permissions of /dev/null first to 0777, than loops in the background for while noting the /dev/null permissions and a list of processes to a file. I saw that after udev starts the permissions change correctly to 0666, but later somewhere when hdparm starts the permissions get changed to 0600. Couldn't figure out what exactly does change the permissions, just grepping for chmod and dev/null in /etc/init.d/* doesn't show any hints.
