chmod a+x /usr/bin/ls
chmod: changing permissions of '/usr/bin/ls': Operation not permitted

However, /usr/bin/ls is already executable, there is no need to change permissions, hence no need to report a problem with changing permissions.

That doesn't seem to be specified.

For clarification, I've forwarded to the GNU coreutils mailing list:
