Inconvenient file without read permission in toolchain

After unpacking ...packages/jenkins/enterprise/b2qt/yocto/6.2.0/b2qt-x86_64-meta-toolchain-b2qt-embedded-qt6-sdk-apalis-imx8.sh from Aug 31, one can see

$ ls -l sysroots/aarch64-poky-linux/usr/bin/sudo

i.e. a file not even readable by the owner. Presumably a security measure on the actual device image, but makes no sense in the toolchain directory I would think. The problem is that such files are unexpected by other utilities and scripts, e.g. rsync falls over on this file.
