I noticed that /dev/ttyX was getting changed to 600 permissions owned by my user a few weeks ago, but never knew how or why. It seems from what you both have said, login changes the permissions, but su doesn't for obvious reasons.
A little follow up here. Probably others knew this, but I didn't. The tty permissions getting changed to 0600 is done by login. The is in shadow in libmisc/chowntty.c. The permissions can be controlled by TTYGROUP and TTYPERM in /etc/login.defs. That's besides the point. Greg pointed out to me that this has been reported upstream.
