The best way to install and run Zope is to have a dedicated user account and install and run it as that user. Most everything else will lead to problems and frustration.
Only because the zope-2.8.6 tarball has wrong permissions. It worked before, it will work once you fix the permission on the installed zope.
The advice has nothing to do with Zope 2.8.6 or any other tarball. Trying to be overly clever and not using a dedicated account for both installation and running your Zope doesn't add much security, it only adds complication.
But one zope instance doesn't need write access to zope itself, only to the instance directory. It needs read access though, and it's not setup this way by the latest zope, so I think that the problem of the OP come from this change in permissions in the tarball.
Unless you install software that lets users write to the file system through the web people cannot get to the filesystem.
I usually install zope as root to /usr/local, then setup (or actually use the already set up) instances for two different users, one for production and the other for testing, so I don't want to install as the same user, since I don't want to duplicate the zope installation, only the instance, and that should be possible (in fact it has been until now) without compromising security.
