The image module, must automatically set execute permissions to others for the newly created directories:
* files/images
* files/images/temp

For the meanwhile, this has to be done manually, using the following commands (Assuming you've installed drupal in the site's main folder):

cd ~/public_html
chmod o+x files/images
chmod o+x files/images/temp

Please update the documentation.

Thanks,

Amnon

I don't think this is an image module specific problem. I had no problems with my files directory given executable (and read/write). However, when the files was not assigned executable I ran into problems.

The files/images and files/images/temp directories are executable by their owner (www on my server), which is sufficient for them to work in the site. If you want other users to execute them, yes you will have to manually set sufficient permissions.

Ok I see this is an issue in PHP safe_mode: http://es2.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php#45917 (thanks reyero). One possible workaround would be making files, files/images and files/images/temp part of the tarball.
