You know, I'm not actually sure.
Taking a peek inside the .spec file, there's this gem..

    # mark modules executable so that strip-to-file can strip them
    find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/lib/modules/$KernelVer -name "*.ko" -type f  |
xargs chmod u+x

Which seems to be something magical that rpm invokes.
