Comment(by duncan):

 I believe this is fixed in Cabal-1.10. Could you please try that version
 and confirm?

 Otherwise we'll have to take a look at what's going on. For reference for
 anyone looking into this. see Distribution.Simple.Utils:
 {{{
         -- * installing files
         installOrdinaryFile,
         installExecutableFile,
         installOrdinaryFiles,
         installDirectoryContents,

         -- * File permissions
         setFileOrdinary,
         setFileExecutable,
 }}}
