Thanks for the report @ChriFo.
This is not something I'd consider a bug, more of a side-affect of the permission system taking place. There's no specific logic to give the owner more rights when custom permissions are into play.
Note: Users assigned to the original admin account should always have view access, if you need to undo the custom permissions.

A request to allow owner-visibility in such scenarios is already open in #2697 so I will therefore close this off.
