It appears to depend on the initially installed permissions: if they're 
700, then you get:

Changing mode of 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.2/bin/pydoc to 711

This is rather obviously a bug in install_scripts.py: it does 'perm OR 
0111' (sorry, no pipe key on this keyboard and I don't remember the 
Unicode correspondence :) instead of 0555, which is necessary for 
scripts to be read by the Python interpreter.
