I did a lot of research and was confident that this would NOT write
the plist file since it requires an Admin-user for an AnyUser domain.
But it is now in the /Library/Preferences as "com.example.test.plist"
and is the case with all the non-admin account I tried on my Leopard
iMac.
So I checked the folder permission to find out it's:
drwxrwxrwx   67 root     admin  2278 Sep 20 02:35 Preferences

I ran repair permissions but that did not change anything.
Can anyone confirm this is in fact the default permission and the
CFPreferences utilities behave such?
Or is this a known bug?

Most likely it's a result of a broken third-party software installer changing the permissions on your /Library/Preferences folder. Mine is drwxrwxr-x, which is what I'd expect.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
