Hi Jonathan,
I've sent my previous mail before I received your's. :-/

Indeed. See my other mail.

For the proof of concept example in my other mail:
# git ls-files -s | grep ^160000 | cut -d$'\t' -f2 | xargs ls -ld
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 80 Jun 5 21:12 foo
On the original system:
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Jun 10 2011 etc/apache2
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 10 2011 etc/dokuwiki
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 5 2011 export/data1/wiki/global-include
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 10 2011 usr/share/dokuwiki/inc/auth
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jun 10 2011
var/lib/dokuwiki/lib/plugins/discussion
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 10 2011
var/lib/dokuwiki/lib/plugins/svgpureInsert
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 10 2011 var/lib/dokuwiki/lib/tpl
Doesn't look too suspicious to me. But it makes me suspecting that
there are more options where a "chmod 700" would cause such breakage.

Sure. :-)

Definitely. That's why I wrote this bug report. :-)
