Comment:

 I could analyze it now and found the cause: it's the umask. As said, 0755
 is the default FS_CHMOD_DIR. That is perfecly well.
 ''WP_Filesystem_Direct->mkdir()'' does use that value then as parameter of
 the PHP ''mkdir()'' function. This is where the (design) error resides.
 Because ''mkdir()'' will apply the umask (see the PHP
 ''umask()''-function) to the mode while creating the directory. In my case
 the umask is 77 and therefore the directory is created with the 0700 mode.

 Conclusion: ''WP_Filesystem_Direct'' does not reflect umask settings while
 creating a new directory.

 Fix: chmod the path after mkdir:

 {{{
                 if ( ! @mkdir($path, $chmod) )
                         return false;
                 chmod($path, $chmod);
 }}}

 I already tested that fragment and will provide a patch against current
 trunk in a minute.
