So, adding "u=rX" support would directly contradict how chmod works from what I'm reading in the manpage where "X" only works with "+" (as is mentioned in the error message in the ticket description).

           X       The execute/search bits if the file is a directory or any of the execute/search bits are set in the original

                    (unmodified) mode.  Operations with the perm symbol ``X'' are only meaningful in con-

                    junction with the op symbol ``+'', and are ignored in all other cases.

So, if we're trying to match chmod's behavior exactly, then this looks like something we couldn't do.
