Yes... you are missing that not the %build time will be used but the
time when the file was created at the upstream author. E.g. jabberd.spec
contains

| %{__install} -m 644 tools/migrate.pl $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/%{name}

and

| $ ls -l tools/migrate.pl
| -rwxr-xr-x  1 ensc ensc 9528 Oct  3  2003 tools/migrate.pl


I know, that in some cases the files will be touched at %build time and
there is no big difference between using '-p' or not using it. But using
'-p' globally does not hurt and you do not have to decide whether you
copy a static file or a generated one.
