I guess I have different definition of sanity... 8-)

If you let it through, it can create a file with random mode.  Say if a root
process creates a file with 4777 perms, do you really want to risk that
while that process is scheduled away somebody copies a shell into that file
and runs it?
Again.. just fail the open and put the decision of what to do in the
hands of the app... where it belongs...
