On 14.04.2, I need to run with sudo even if the device is owned by my 
user, I've made it with tunctl -u me, and the mode is u+rwx, otherwise 
strace shows
open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR)            = 4
ioctl(4, TUNSETIFF, 0x7fffb7dd0a20)     = 0
ioctl(4, TUNSETPERSIST, 0)              = 0
fcntl(4, F_GETFL)                       = 0x8002 (flags O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE)
fcntl(4, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE) = 0
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 5
ioctl(5, SIOCGIFFLAGS, {ifr_name="tap0", 
ifr_flags=IFF_BROADCAST|IFF_MULTICAST}) = 0
ioctl(5, SIOCSIFFLAGS, {ifr_name="tap0", ???}) = -1 EPERM (Operation not 
permitted)
So you may need to run it with elevated privileges even if it seems like 
you should be able to get away with running it as yourself.
(Thanks for the bug report; attempting to reproduce it got me to 
actually use the tap interface for the first time.)
