I agree that OS X has historically been far too vulnerable to changes in file/folder permissions -- and that it has not been good about dynamically cleaning up after itself (or after third-party installations have wrought their havoc. However, one thing you don't mention (and perhaps have not observed) is that Apple has made great strides in this area with Panther and in particular as of version 10.3.2 (and now through 10.3.4).
I can't speak to your experience, of course, but mine is that Disk Utility reports far fewer problems in this regard than ever before -- even after my having run a number of software updates and installations. So this is a most welcome development and I trust you will find this to be true as well.
