I have SLF4.7 on my laptop and I don't have the problem you mention.

It resets from 0660 root uucp to root root and owner rw permissions.  So, I can't add a user to the uucp group to manage usage of the serial port (this works ok on SL5.0.    If I try to just  run everything via sudo, it seems my terminal settings via stty have changed.
