This results in the copy being world-writable.

Indeed. The file initially gets created as a mode-600 file, but the code
later tweaks the permissions to match the symlink, which is (as you note) a
bad thing.
My first reaction is to change the code in set_stat_xattr() (in xattrs.c)
from:
if (fst.st_mode != mode)
do_chmod(fname, mode);
to:
if (fst.st_mode != mode && !S_ISLNK(file->mode))
do_chmod(fname, mode);
..wayne..
