0707 Permissions

I have recently set up a site on a shared-hosting server. PHP runs under FastCGI. The web hosting company seems to have set the server up so that any newly created directory has 0707 permissions. This is looks like a significant security risk. I thought that one of the main advantages of FastCGI was that PHP does not need world-writable permissions, even for directories where it needs to write stuff. Or have I missed something?
