An additional problem:

   - git-p4 doesn't preserve the execute permission bit from Perforce.

Hmm, can you paste the output of

      p4 fstat //path/in/depot/to/file/that/is/imported/incorrectly

? I'm interested in the type of the file that p4 reports.

   headType kxtext

so the problem is that the git-p4 is only looking for an 'x' at the start.
According to 'p4 help filetypes', we need to use execute for any of:

   cxtext, kxtext, uxbinary,  and the others that start with 'x'.

I think it would be sufficient to check the first or second character for
an 'x'.  I'll make a change and give it a try later today.

These are the old file types. If you read the output of `p4 help
filetypes`, the new way of specifying this is with file type
modifiers. Therefore, you also have things like text+x.
