My guess is that you were testing as root.  For instance, I retried this 
example under Solaris 2.8, FreeBSD 4.10, and FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT:

2-pong% echo readable > try_read_me
3-pong% chmod 0333 try_read_me
4-pong% cat try_read_me
cat:14: permission denied: try_read_me
5-pong% uname -a
SunOS pong 5.8 Generic_117000-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4 Solaris

1-sec% echo readable > try_read_me
2-sec% chmod 0333 try_read_me
3-sec% cat try_read_me
cat: try_read_me: Permission denied
4-sec% uname -a
FreeBSD sec.pkix.net 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #2: Thu Jun 10 18:41:59 
EDT 2004     root at sec.pkix.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NORMAL  i386

$ echo readable > try_read_me
$ chmod 0333 try_read_me
$ cat try_read_me
cat: try_read_me: Permission denied
$ uname -a
