This problem occurred in combination with certain system umask. I just
fixed libprelude so that it correctly set the umask before file
creation. You might try to apply:

https://trac.prelude-ids.org/changeset/9991
https://trac.prelude-ids.org/changeset/9992

To see if they fixes your issue.

Thanks for reporting this!
