When you run the installer, OS X just asks you for *some* administrator account, and if you can provide this, the installer will actually be run by the system in the **root** account! (At least on my machine, which isn't a server. I guess your's is?) 'Course you cannot chmod those files. For the installer, it's really just a mistake, if noone cares, I can prepare a new installer here on my machine.
