Are you sure you haven't done something else to the system? It appears the system creates most directories under the homedir with more restrictive permissions. For example, I just created two new users (on OS X 10.0.4), one with admin and one without; in both cases, /Users/newuser/Desktop was 700, as well as almost all other directories created for a new user. OS X creates eight directories for a new user: Desktop, Documents, Library, Movies, Music, and Pictures, which are all mode 700, and two mode 755 directories: Public, and Sites.
