Right, I don't disagree with you that it would be confusing and
inconsistent which is why no such magic is being done. To me a PHP
script with incorrect permissions is really no different from a PHP
script with a syntax error in it. In both cases you would want to know
you screwed up and you just have to manage where these error messages
should appear.
