FWIW, I only ever meant to advocate for this for locked flags, i.e.
cases where the only other option is to throw EPERM. Clearly when the
user has permission, the exact requested flags should be applied, or
all kinds of things break.

It seems to me that if we can fix the security issue without breaking
userspace, we should. Sometimes we end up with icky APIs to avoid
breaking userspace. (Though IMO implicitly preserving locked bits is
not icky at all.)
