There may be two different things going on here. The bug was fixed in upstart 1.11, some time ago.

On the other hand, I noticed (as you did) in the last few days that my new files were getting a umask of 0027, contrary to the upstart profile I had installed. Because of the timing, I suspect the GNOME 3.10 upgrade (which I received via the GNOME3-team PPA) somehow caused the workaround to stop working.

Since it was possible to install upstart 1.11 from trusty without pulling in other dependencies, I did so, which cured the problem, as the bug is fixed there and the workaround no longer needed.
