The postflight script tests for 10.6 and 10.7 but not for 10.8.
The relevant  lines are

# some jobs needed specifically on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion)
if uname -r | grep ^1[01] >/dev/null; then

On 10.8.2 uname -r returns 12.2.0 and that doesn't match the grep test.
It would seem that the test should be grep ^1[012] or grep ^1[0-2] .
