That code chmods new directories to a _configurable_ value--you can
set $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['folderCreateMask'] in the
install tool to a value appropriate to your server environment.

Given that you can set the value it uses, I can't see any reason at
all to hack the core. What exactly is the problem you encounter?
