Testing 1.4b2, I find that even though cupsd is running as root, fully-executable backends are executed as user lp - and that a backend owned by root and with mode 700 won't be executed. (Clearly I can protect the resources for user lp instead of root as before to adapt to the change.)

Nope, that code hasn't changed.  Are you sure cupsd is running as
root?

What OS?
