It is supposed to be build in buildworld where is also } chmod'ed appropriately. Something triggers the build during } installworld, which is a place they don't want to add chmod to. I have } had it hit me once. I had the same thing happen to me yesterday abuse six hours into a -current "make release". The problem didn't recur when I reran "make release". One possible quirk is that I am mounting the scratch area from a 4.1-stable NFS server. Notice that only the .a file is getting built, and not the .o files. I suspect that the file timestamps are getting messed up, causing make to rebuild the .a file. } I added chmod to the progs line like you did and } it did the build.
