I am still interested in getting an answer to this question.

Another update here also.

If I set the permissions to 644, the CSS files can be edited in the Joomla
administrative backend, but as soon as they are saved, they are set as 555.
At that point, the files are unable to edited and saved in the
administrative backend OR with an FTP-base editor.  So permissions have to
be reset from the shell every single edit.

What is so bizarre about this is you can successfully modify the template's
index.php in the administrative backend, even though the permissions are set
to 555, but you cannot edit and save the CSS files.  And of course, at 555,
you can't edit the template's index.php with the permissions set to 555
either.
