Thanks for raising this problem. I agree, the installer should not change the permissions on /Applications (but user can decide to install the application somewhere else and move it to /Applications later as a temporary solution)
I'd say that it shouldn't read "the installer should", but rather "the package creator should" - again the package is very badly created - same as the R 1.9.0 one and defies all mechanisms Apple provides in the Installer. It's not a fault of the Apple's Installer but rather how the package was created (Apple's Package Manager provides ways to set rights correctly). Unfortunately the only way to get proper installation of R (if you didn't build you own package) is to re-compile it and use corresponding make install commands. I have addressed this issue previously and even created a package template, but sometimes things just don't change :(
Cheers, simon
