I haven't been able to come up with a scenario where this could
occur assuming modern versions of Emacs and VM.  By modern in
this case I mean at least version 4.09 for VM, since it's been
chmod'ing the primary INBOX to 600 for that long.  The backup
file mode should match that of the primary file; it does for
version 18.58 of Emacs at least.
