Ok, the following has been added to migration 6.2.1_6.3, and a note has
been added to the item on the TODO/HISTORY list, though you can only see
it now on the www page.

In addition, 6.3 has separate permissions for views, rather than relying
on the permissions set on the underlying tables. For this reason, you will
have to set permissions on your views if you want anything but the
default permissions.
