I couldn't reproduce the problem locally. After playing the same
scenario, /etc/profile keeps its 0644 file permissions.

Could you, please, set

  (setq tramp-verbose 10
        tramp-debug-buffer t)

and repeat the bug? Then, provide the contents of the *tramp/sudo* and
*debug tramp/sudo* buffers.

Best regards, Michael.
