This is true.  The unzip task doesn't do anything with permissions and
the manual page even says so

It is the zip task, not the unzip task.  And it applies to permissions
read from a different archive when you use the zip task to
repackage/merge archives.

Ant is capable of dealing with permissions inside ZIP and TAR archives
but not on the file system.  The latter isn't going to change until the
tasks can run on NIO2 and Java7 because the Java File API currently
simply doesn't provide the means we'd need.
