Applejack doesn't run fsck from Open Firmware, but from single-user mode, and 
the results of running fsck and Disk Utility are indistinguishable, because 
what DU is doing is running fsck under the GUI. 

Permissions repair will do nothing whatsoever for this issue, since that 
applies to executable files only. Only things listed in /Library/Reciepts will 
ever figure into Permissions repair. (and not all of those...PR only ever looks 
at Apple-supplied files.)
