Ok.  This pretty much confirms my guess.

A quick fix would be to "chmod -R a+x /bin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/sbin
/usr/i686-pc-* /usr/lib/gcc-lib && chmod -R a+r /usr /etc /lib /var".  I
may have missed some directories with executables.  You may also need to
give write access to everyone in /tmp and /var...

The "real" fix would be to make setup create the directories with the
right permissions from the start.  I'm not sure this is possible.
Perhaps people with more knowledge of ACLs (Pierre, Corinna, CGF?) will
chime in and offer their opinions...
