This is by design; it is the way POSIX is supposed to work.

>From Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions#Classes 
>):
* The execute permission, which grants the ability to execute a file. This 
permission must be set for executable binaries (for example, a compiled c++ 
program) or shell scripts (for example, a Perl program) in order to allow the 
operating system to run them. When set for a directory, this permission grants 
the ability to traverse its tree in order to access files or subdirectories, 
but not see files inside the directory (unless read is set).
