Yes. That is what we were trying to fix: device nodes are created by
default by upstream (and by udev) with 666 permissions, so world
readable and writable. We tried to fix it back to 660, but that caused
all these regressions and required the users to be in the video group
as a workaround.

With the upload Andreas just did (340.93-6) the video group workaround
won't be needed, but device nodes go back to 666.

Kind regards,
