And times ago there where permission (umask) issues with users calling pacman with sudo.

There is no problem calling pacman with sudo, I do that all the time.

I think what you are referring to was a problem with non-standard umask, which has been fixed in pacman : http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12263

Yes, I'm sorry for the inaccuracy.

If you used pacman as root with non-standard umask, you would have had exactly the same problem.
