Using defaults command to modify Info.plist changes permissions

One of build phase script includes the perl variant of the following terminal command to inject a build number into my info.plist

defaults write /Users/Shared/Release/MyApp.app/contents/Info MyBuildNumber 123

Is it by design that the defaults command changes the access permissions to 600 (ie: no access for anyone but the owner)?
defaults (1) doesn't mention this side effect. running on 10.6.


The effect of this is to kill the app for users who are not the owner (at launch the info.plist cannot be read, hence no principal class, hence no launch).
