How does this happen?
Automake uses many shell scripts in its test suite. They are
all executable and they don't lose their permission bits during
distcheck (AFAIK).
Automake doesn't use `chmod +x' nor `$(SHELL)'. Anyway these
would be just workarounds, the real problem is why your script
lose its executable bit, not how to set it back.
