	I too have noticed some oddities with /dev permissions, similar to what you have expirianced.  When I moved to an XFS /, my user did not have access to /dev/mixer so I chmod'd it and when I rebooted it didn't seem to stick.  I wasn't going to post this until I could pin it down to something specific, but I had no time to do so and as you posted about it I thought I'd let you know you are not alone :)
	I am running 2.4.0 now, but this happened since um....2.4test13pre3 (when I moved to an XFS /)
	Just thought that might help :)

	RegEx
