This is inconsistent. Could you please make it so they are installed executable on *all* platforms or on *no* platforms?

Templates are now always installed with the executable bit set on all platforms, but with a '.sample' suffix. This makes the behavior consistent whether or not the platform supports executable bits properly. This happened in June of 2008, and shipped in git v1.6.0.
