Is this also related to anonymous read access of metadata via OAI and 
3rd party tools such as SRW/SRU?

We have a 3rd party extension that uses OAI to retrieve DSpace records 
but even if one removes all authorization to a repository item, the 
record's metadata is still viewable via OAI and searchable via our 
SRW/SRU implementation.
