Yes, the backed up file permissions are correct.  The files that get moved
to the backup-dir are not, though.  Looking at it a littler closer, though,
I think it's just the directory permissions/ownership that are getting lost.
Permissions/ownership of individual files are preserved properly.  Here's
some further data:

Command line (running as root):
rsync -avz --timeout=0 --partial --force --ignore-errors --bwlimit=0 --stats
 -- \
numeric-ids --delete --backup --backup-dir=/archive/current/previous/server

Sample permissions in backup directory:
cd /archive/backups/current/server
ls -ld home/company
drwxrws---  24 508  company 4096 Sep 18 12:04 home/company

Sample permissions in backup-dir directory:
cd /archive/backups/previous/server
ls -ld home/company
drwxr-xr-x  6 root  root    4096 Sep 18 12:04 home/company
