This begs the question; why cannot the systemd packaging remove the
executable bits from these files?

Indeed, they can't be "executed" in the usual way after all — the
long description of the tag even refers to this although admittedly
it mentions "Windows", not PE:

    Tag: executable-not-elf-or-script
    Severity: normal
    Certainty: certain
    Info: This executable file is not an ELF format binary, and does not start
     with the #! sequence that marks interpreted scripts. It might be a sh
     script that fails to name /bin/sh as its shell, or it may be incorrectly
     marked as executable. Sometimes upstream files developed on Windows are
     marked unnecessarily as executable on other systems.
     .
     If you are using debhelper to build your package, running dh_fixperms will
     often correct this problem for you.
    Ref: policy 10.4


Best wishes,
