Looking at the spec file in ksh-20120801-10.el6_5.3.src.rpm, the following 
line is the only one which delivers a ksh binary:

install -c -m 755 arch/*/bin/ksh $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/bin/ksh93

Filing a bug in the Red Hat Bugzilla might get it fixed in RHEL 7, if it's not 
already fixed in the beta for 7. I would suggest that it is unlikely to be 
fixed for released major versions, based upon their history of not delivering 
new files for existing packages.

This is merely a Red Hat packaging issue, and not an AST problem nor a ksh93 
problem. If you use kickstart to install, it might be a good idea to have a 
local package which merely has a /usr/bin/ksh -> /bin/ksh symlink if you want 
to use your scripts unmodified with a /usr/bin/ksh shebang.
