I noticed something odd once I started using the latest 2.4.9-31 kernel

between removing it and what's happening).

There might very well be one.

When I boot up, I've found that /dev/null is chmod 600 (rw-------).

I have XFS 1.1 here but I didn't install it using the RPM. I built from the kernel-source rpm and installed it from there.

The /dev/null on this box still has 666 so I reckon that the file got touched somewhere in the process of upgrading.

You should be able to chmod the file and the permission should stick.
