I'm not sure that I follow you here. umask must return the correct umask value. If you set your umask to "11", then neither "022" nor "0022" would be correct. The umask is an octal value and by tradition, an octal value is displayed with a leading zero. I wouldn't call either "022" nor "0022" incorrect.
