We should be able to do this, as it was introduced in Ant 1.5.2 ( Maven
1.0.2 uses Ant 1.5.3-1 ).
The jelly in Geronimo's assembly plugin needs would need to be updated
(look at the differences between the tarfileset and the zipfileset),
plus have the assembly plugin version number bumped.
I'm not convinced this needs to be in 1.1 though. Can you raise a JIRA?

Its not really a secret...
Maven2 assembly plugin fileMode will propagate to tar.gz + zips.
Ant zip task has a zipfileset that takes a filemode.
I've used both techniques and they work to add the right exec modes to
scripts in tgz or zip.
GShell assembly is currently setup to put the right exec flags on the
gsh script.
