Comment(by svat2):

 This bug still exists, it is not restricted to library installs or to
 Unix, and is a big nuisance.

 My OS is Mac OS X, user umask is 077, cabal version is "cabal-install
 version 0.8.0 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library". I set my cabal
 to global installs, and did `sudo cabal install pandoc`. A lot of files
 (including the binary itself) were installed with incorrect permisssions,
 so I (as user) couldn't run the program. I tried changing umask and
 reinstalling with `sudo cabal --reinstall install pandoc`, but it didn't
 fix permissions. (Possibly because my root umask also appears to be 077
 for some reason.)

 Doing `sudo chmod -vR a+rX /usr/local` was the workaround that finally
 helped.
