After further digging this is an issue with the file kioslave (kioslave/file/file.cc) not accepting a umask while using pmount. In multiuser graphical environments, the ability to set umask is very important.
If the ioslave accepted a umask, both users would be able to access the mounted device and this wouldn't appear "random".
