There's not much that we can do w.r.t. permissions. CMake docs state:
"Files [...] are by default given permissions OWNER_WRITE, OWNER_READ, 
GROUP_READ, and WORLD_READ if no PERMISSIONS argument is given."

[source:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/command/install.html#installing-files]

That means that even if we set this explicitly, your umask will probably 
interfere in the same way. Do you have the same problem with other cmake-based 
installers?

Should be fixed in git master (518f0503). Can you please verify this?
