I uncompressed the archive drupal-4.6.1.tar.gz and found lots of files with the executable bit unnecessarily set:

-rw-r--r-x drupal-4.6.1/misc/forum-sticky.png
-rw-r--r-x drupal-4.6.1/misc/arrow-desc.png
-rw-r--r-x drupal-4.6.1/misc/xml.png
-rw-r--r-x drupal-4.6.1/misc/drupal.css
[...]

It seems that only files in drupal-4.6.1/scripts need the executable bit.

This is the full list of files with executable bit set:

$ find drupal-4.6.1 -type f -perm +111 -exec ls -l {} \; | sed -r -e "s/^([^ ]*) .* ([^ ]*)\$/\\1 \\2/"

Version: 4.6.1 » 4.6.3

Current 4.6.3 tarballs seems to have _no_ executable bits set (not even for scripts/*).
