Hold that, I reinstalled my server this week from source and encountered no such problems. Before filing any bug report, consider how permissions where changed: Did you accidentially change them manually? Do you have umask set to some non-standard value? Do/should ports override root's umask? Of course, some condition that causes a proces to exit unexpectedly ought to give a clearer log message, and it shouldn't keep retrying, for that you might consider sending a bug report to the developers.
