Putting this in mkinstalldirs should be the right thing to do, since all
installed directories are supposed to be world readable (and if they
weren't, that would need special handling anyway).

compinit is a function, it should be readable but not executable; executing
it as a command won't work. If properly installed, the directory should be
in $fpath, and if not, compinstall should put it there; it should also make
compinit autoloaded. What is actually going wrong?
P.S. please cc me with any replies as I'm not on the list :-). More
seriously, the incoming mail here is screwed up, so mail to pws@ifh.de
might get answered more quickly (i.e. at all).
