That check was added quite some time ago:
commit a343bb7750e6a098909c34f5c5dfddbc4fa40053 Author: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com> Date: Tue Aug 22 20:06:03 2006 -0400
VFS: Fix access("file", X_OK) in the presence of ACLs
Also it sounds just plain wrong to allow execution without an x bit. It could cause nasty surprises at least. What was the intended purpose of that code, and why did nobody notice when it stopped working?
