This is obviously a very serious incident, but it's not one that I can duplicate or that has been reported by anyone else. If we can duplicate it or receive any similar reports, we will immediately withdraw the installer. The basic mechanisms used by this installer are the same as those in previous releases, so it's been used many hundreds of times on diverse targets.
Would you check the md5 hash and gpg signature on the .dmg file. Both are available on the distribution page at https://launchpad.net/plone/+milestone/4.0.0 . I have verified that the MD5 computed by launchpad matches the uploaded copy of the .dmg file.
