True, though this same issue would occur if, for example, one tried to install an optional package, or build from scratch in WSL. The current code that enforces that the spkg-install scripts are *not* executable, I think, to prevent SPKG authors/maintainers from making that mistake. However, it's not very important from an actual usage standpoint. So at least in the odd case where UNIX-style permissions don't work correctly (WSL, and in some cases Cygwin depending on how it's configure) we could soften that enforcement. It would be good to have a configure-time check for whether or not chmodding works correctly.
