That could be. But didn't they have a proper umask in /root/.bashrc?
I just went into /root on the system and did 'touch test'. It created it
with mode 644. This also gets checked on tonight's install.
Just for grins I created public_html to see if apache would accept /~root
and it did. So this potato system makes it easy for the superuser to have
a personal home page :)
