As far as I can tell there'd be no reason they shouldn't. I struck this wanting to add write permission to a directory which had been left read-only (something out of an unzip or untar). (Presently dired-do-chmod also queries for the mode before announcing it won't act on . or .., whereas of course usually in other places in emacs such failing pre-conditions are checked before user input.)
