I evaluated the behavior from Basic for all of the different modes based on a specific build on a specific Linux platform. I did not read the code, nor did I test different platforms. I documented all of this in OOME on my web site. Don't remember the direct link, but, it is on http://www.pitonyak.org under my macros page.
I also loop at a few other methods for opening files using a service that might be useful to you.

Cannot answer the questions; just for completeness, something you could
already know:
the current handling of BINARY opened for write was defined in commit
23b49669ab70cac72d5f6d955e7d2af617e6934e [1] for #i18638 [2].
