Doesn't sound normal to me. Were errors shown on reboot (like discs not unmounting cleanly), does anyone know if there are any fun processes on Mandrake that "fix" permissions in /usr and can you reproduce this?
To these questions, add:
Is /usr on a file-system type that doesn't support changing permissions, such as vfat?
