permissions getting screwed up has nothing to do with the regular
maintenance tasks that OS X does. The maint tasks are things like
archive log files and run some cleanup scripts to clear temp files or
other cache files.
Permissions can get screwed up by a million other things that come
into play. Actually, it is a bit of a wonder, being that Apple
recommends people repair permissions on a regular basis (in
particular before and after installing updates or other software),
that they don't just add that function into the daily maintenance
tasks that OS X performs (or at the very least, to the start and end
of their own Software Update provided updates).
