Just for the case it is changed once again :)

Of coarse it can't run if there are no executable permissions at all,
but it will run and give an error if only the owner of the file has
executable permissions which is what this bug is all about. Obviously,
you (i.e. Oracle) are running all the tests with the same user who
also built the VM that's why you didn't saw this problem two times. We
have a distinct build and test users (which I think is good) so we
always run into this instantly.
