It is my understanding that /etc/rc is executed by BPXOINIT at startup. If its

That's almost certainly true.
However, while it's very unlikely, I think it is possible to run a Java
task from /etc/rc that could create the directory with another user. So
it seemed like cheap insurance to explicitly set the owner, then you are
protected if somehow things change in the future.
