Without "default_permissions" the userspace filesystem's lookup operation needs to perform the check for search permission on the directory. If directory does not allow search for everyone (this is quite rare) then userspace filesystem has to set entry timeout to zero to make sure permissions are always performed. Changing the mode bits of the directory should also invalidate the (previously cached) dentry to make sure the next lookup will have a chance of updating the timeout, if needed.
