They do:

  $ icacls xxx
  xxx VINSCHEN\corinna:(R,W)
      VINSCHEN\vinschen:(Rc,S,RA)
      Everyone:(RX,W)

  Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files
  $ ls -l xxx
  -rwxrwxrwx 1 corinna vinschen 0 Feb 28 23:04 xxx

This is perfectly fine, see the same sequence on Linux:

  $ uname -sr
  Linux 3.18.6-200.fc21.x86_64
  $ umask 77
  $ touch xxx
  $ ls -l xxx
  -rw------- 1 corinna vinschen 0 Feb 28 23:17 xxx
  $ chmod 750 xxx
  $ ls -l xxx
  -rwxr-x--- 1 corinna vinschen 0 Feb 28 23:17 xxx
  $ chmod -x xxx
  chmod: xxx: new permissions are rw-r-x---, not rw-r-----
