I'm pretty sure that's what the magicfilterconfig script was supposed to do, but it got itself confused enough that it confused me, too. I never did change the permissions in those directories myself; they just eventually worked, presumably because of what the package installs were doing. Speaking of which, and maybe I'm misunderstanding the process, but where is it specified that script init.d/A will be executed as user B? >> Whatever. I can print now.
