I couldn't tell you. Sigil extracts the epub files to a path similar to the one you listed, and then opens the extracted files. The ZipArchive library that Sigil uses for extraction respects the file permissions set on the files in the epub archive. Maybe the other applications don't, I don't know.

But where did you get those epub files and do other epub files work correctly on your system? Try opening this one.

There is no requirement for the OEBPS folder in the epubs that Sigil can open. Sigil follows the epub specification: it reads content.xml, finds the OPF and loads the content files listed in its manifest.
