This is how it works.
When you run Repair Permission, the command first go to Receipt
directory on your running OS to gather information.  Among them, a
database of permission bits, then compare against the target.  If you
run against different OS version, it will try to match wrong permission
bit because the reference is in wrong version, and usually it will cause
a severe problem.  This has been always true with OSX.

However, permission business has been vastly improved since Tiger.  I
haven't seen any critical permission problem on any of my machines.
