Hi,
AFAIK digikam supports two running instances of digikam of the same
user (2nd one with readonly access).   On first look this looks similar/
identical to two instances started from different accounts.  Technical
reason that this is different may be

  o ~kde/share/config/digikam* are different for different users
  o looking of digikam3.db that ensures that second instance gets
    only readonly access is accuount specific implemented

So if no technical problem (beside digikam using 644) exists. I
think the bugreport, as a wishlist, is valid and should stay open:
digikam should honour the default umask setting.

P.S. here the result of a quick test in a fresh user account:


umask 002
digikam &

Pictures/                   ==> 775
Pictures/digikam3.db        ==> 644  
Pictures/SubDir             ==> 755
Picutres/Subdir/d-and-d.png ==> 644

editing with IE and use 'Save as' preserves permisions.  If orig image was 644 or 664 saved-as image has the same.
