On my Ubuntu system this resolves to /usr/local/etc for an actual system 
install - which is OK I think. It's where the system wide povray.conf 
and povray.ini files are installed and these I believe set the file i/o 
access rights all users picking up the common install would get.

Am I missing something?

On your system are you ending up with /etc readable due a different tool 
install directory structure, or?
