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?

Hi Ken.

On one Leopard volume, my permissions are the same as yours. On another Leopard volume, however, and on Snow Leopard and Tiger volumes, the permissions are drwxrwxr-x, as expected. I suspect, therefore, that some installer messed up the permissions.

This is probably off-topic for the cocoa-dev list now, but I'd be happy to try to isolate the installer with you off-list.
