oops, sorry, just see, this is upstream problem, I'll notify you when this gets corrected.

How is this an upstream problem? Can't one just chmod the file in the PKGBUILD?

Of course you can (and one should IMHO). But this is like patching.
I checked the upstream tar file and compared to the previous version, and the file permissions have been changed. Here is the bug report:

I see. Thanks.

Nevertheless please modify the file permissions in the package until upstream fixes it.
