This isn't a bug, it's a missing PaX exception. You should expect to need to add some PaX exceptions to the paxd.conf list on your own.

Thanks for the hint, but shouldn't this kinda be in some default list?

I'm just stating that it's a feature request to have the paxd.conf list extended, not a bug.
