Or I must be missing something.  This is part of "git archive" where
its output is a tarball (or a zipfile) in which each entry knows its
permission bits (or at least, if it is executable).  Running "tar xf" 
or "unzip" on the receiving end of the output of this command should
set the executable bit (and other permission bits) correctly I would
certainly hope, so it does matter, no?

I did say "scalar diagnose" may not care.  But a patch to "git
archive" will affect other people, and among them there would be
people who say "gee, now I can add a handful of files from the
command line with their contents, without actually having them in
throw-away untracked files, when running 'git archive'.  That's
handy!", try it out and get disappointed by their inability to
create executable files that way.  And obviously I care more about
"git archive" than "scalar diagnose".  I very welcome to enhance the
former to support the need for the latter.  I do not see a good
reason to stop at a half-feature added to the former, even that
added half is enough to satisfy the latter, when the other half is
not all that hard to add, and it is reasonably expected that users
other than "scalar diagnose" would naturally want the other half,
too.
