On my linux system the x-permission was set (by install -- the default is
755 which is why you need the -m 644 option to install documentation) when the
file was installed.  Why does the permission in the source tree matter?  Are you
using a funny version of install?

Speaking of permissions, Mandrake's msec security tool noticed a few world
writable files/directories in the main texmf tree:

texmf/fonts/pk
texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour
texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen
texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/ec
texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/tc
texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public
texmf/fonts/pk/ljfour/public/dstroke
texmf/ls-R
texmf/web2c/mf.base
texmf/web2c/mf.log
