This should be `(identity #o444)` I believe ?

File permissions are now set before writing to the file, for security
reasons. In this case, you remove write permission so emacs fails to
write to the file. Perhaps we should try to support this use case.

However, even with the previous version, it seems that subsequent
tangles should have failed (emacs should fail to delete the previous
tangled file). Can you confirm this and explain how you dealt with it ?

As a workaround, you could use a file-local
`org-babel-post-tangle-hook` to set file permission. Although
subsequent tangles will still fail.
