That file only affects programs you start from the bash shell. Any
program launched with Finder will inherit a different setting.
Check TLU's log output (Window menu) for umask warnings.

This means that you saw the alert at some point in the past and
chose to disable it. Quit TLU and run this command in Terminal:

defaults delete com.googlecode.mactlmgr.tlu TLMDisableUmaskWarningKey

Next time you launch TLU, I expect you'll see an alert.
