That bug is also present in the Ubuntu Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/12825

[Daniel Robitaille (robitaille)]

Fixed in Breezy:

 at (3.1.8-11ubuntu5) breezy; urgency=low
   * at.c: Make at job files group readable (i. e. readable by 'daemon') to
     make "at -c <job>" work again. (Ubuntu #12825)
