As an org user I would expect :tangle-mode 0660 to produce a file that

Hm. This looks dangerous: interpreting an integer as octal just
due to the context?
I do understand why, but still...
Why not recommend Elisp's explicit syntax for octal representation,
i.e. :tangle-mode #o660? And put a prominent note in the docs,
of course.
Are you suggesting this currently works or that the patch should be
changed to make that work? A quick try on my local system (pre-patch),
I receive the error:
Wrong type argument: fixnump, "#o660"
