To some degree, yes. On the other hand, there’s an explicit chmod
in there, and normally you operate with a CVSUMASK of 002 precisely

Sure, you’re welcome.
I ended up doing some yak shaving and more bugfixing, which I’m
sadly unlikely to be getting into stretch, so I’ll just have to
pick the individual fixes related to this and not the general
testsuite fixes (sanity.sh is quite insane), and I’m still not
finished testing things enough, so it may take a bit until I
have something that can be uploaded.
