I am going to ask again if this umask behavior can be confirmed, because
its quite important for me. I set the complete system umask to be
absolute sure and I still have the issue?

echo 'session optional        pam_umask.so umask=077' | sudo tee -a
/etc/pam.d/common-session
cat /etc/pam.d/common-session

Best regards,
