I thought about that as well. If you "ls -l" such a symlink once created, it will show as 0777, probably the client does it somehow. The problem however is that if you create it with 0777 server-side, everybody can mess with that file that the client view as a symlink. That's why I thought that 0644 is the best approximation.
