Just speculating:  have you tried to read a large file from
an USB thumbdrive and midway disconnect the drive?

Warning: that *may* damage the thumbdrive (even physically,
not just the filesystem on it!), so use an old small one that
you wont miss in case it's really broken afterwards.

Removing permissions after the file has been opened doesn't
ever matter, anyway.  Permissions are only checked at open().
