 I just upgraded from 3.2 to 3.3.1 on my shared hosting box (hosted by
 http://www.mythic-beasts.com). This uses suexec, and so .php scripts need
 to have executable permissions otherwise it won't execute them. I am told
 that many secure multi-user setups work like this.

 My original install had the PHP scripts set as executable, but I did the
 upgrade (via the web GUI) and suddenly I got 500 Server Errors everywhere.
 I had to chmod all .php files back to executable before my blog would work
 again.

 Wordpress should check the permissions on .php files before upgrading and
 preserve them across the upgrade.
