Well, it's what OS X now seems to do (at least part of the time).
The gretl installer hasn't changed; the behavior of OS X has. If
you can figure out how exactly OS X has changed in this respect
(e.g. via google) perhaps we can find a workaround.

As it may be a specific problem occuring here at my machine, I think
the issue can be related with Mac OS X permissions on my Mac.

In the next couple of days I will perform an Snow Leopard reinstallation
(that I doon a regular annual basis just for keep a "clean system").

As soon as I reinstall Gretl I'll report if the behaviour persists.

Thanks a lot for your attention Allin!

Best,
Henrique
