Thank you for this confirmation and additional information.

> All created files by Scilab in /tmp/SCI_TMP_22935/ are 'wr' ones, except demo_gui_dockable.xml (because of the use of copyfile function and because of the original file permissions).


This is really the point. This copyfile behaviour looks proper to Linux.
More tests about it would be required, and compared to file permissions 
coming from unix("cp ...")

If your first results are confirmed, as well from other Linux users, it 
will be clearly an issue to address ASAP.
