This should no longer be the case with modern Zope versions (above 2.5, at
least).

  In fact, it was never the case with access to anything protected
  by a permission, even a permission granted to "Anonymous".

If you are sure that it behaves as you described, then please file
a bug report to <http://collector.zope.org>.
