IMHO, this is more a limitation of the pax format. The installer doesn't use the 'pax format'. We use CPIO archives that are gziped. Pax is merely the command line tool that reads these files. The CPIO format doesn't store extended attributes, so we run a tool called 'SplitForks' that moves all extended attributes (resource fork, finder flags, mac type & creator) into a '._' file. The bug 3635123 was duped to 3551477, which was a bug in SplitForks that kept it from running on directories. There was also a bug in PackageMaker that was fixed in 10.4 where PM wasn't calling SplitForks at all on the directories. So the answer here is that if you use the 10.4 version of SplitForks, or PackageMaker, the custom icon bit on your folders should be preserved in the archive, and the installer on 10.4 _and earlier_ should all correctly restore the bit.
