I doesn't actually seem to change content of the files. Only 
permissoins. But given that the docs says (or rather "said") explicitly:

"No changes are ever done to the  source  location."

I would expect operations on the "source" to be strictly read only - 
including permissions.

Is the documentation intentionally changed to not make that promise anymore?

Yes... but the problem here is that the current userdb has accounts 
which can be activated/de-activated and de-activating an account makes 
the userdb act as it doesn't exist.
... which makes dsync skip it.

I realize that's a broken userdb, but the possible work-around was to 
not do userdb lookups with dsync.
