When you go multi-user, another partition is mounted or auto-mounted on top of /home. Anything in your root partition's /home directory is unavailable when multi-user.
/home has two different disk directories mounted at the two different run levels; there is no reason for them to have any correlation to one another.

Is this a problem?
When you log-in in single user mode, the permissions change to reflect it.
Execute permission is required for you to cd into a directory.
If you're the only user (and probably there to repair something) why not?
