I have scripts that preserve executable permissions within a tar, so it can work. I am not sure what would be different in your setup, but something like this seems to work for me. Typing from memory, so might be some errors...

myfile = copySpec {
from('component-interface-tests') {
fileMode=0755
include('test-support/**')
}
from('component-interface-tests') {
include('integration-tests/**')
include('README')
}
}
task tar (type: Tar) {
with myfiles
}
