For the record, I don't think this is a valid reason for closing the bug. 
The following points have not been addressed:

* the default permissions on the tty[0-9]* devices are still 0600
  (cf. /lib/udev/rules.d/91-permissions.rules)
* the documentation does not mention the need to change these permissions
* there may well be security implications in allowing universal write
  access to these devices; I'm not convinced that the workaround in the
  followup comment is the correct fix to the problem (although it may
  be useful as a hint to where the problem lies)

That said, I'm not going to reopen at this time because I'm no longer
interested in verifying that the problem persists. Our clusters no longer
run Debian, and our users have mostly moved on to OpenMPI (we don't even 
install lam4-dev any more). It is conceivable, though not exactly obvious 
from reading the HISTORY file, that this bug was fixed in 7.1.2. Had you
written that you tried and failed to reproduce the problem in the latest
release, that would have been a more convincing reason for closing the bug.
