I just installed the Munin-Node from Release Candidate 1.2.6rc0

There the directory has root as owner:

# ls -ld /var/opt/munin/plugin-state/
drwxrwxr-x 2 root munin 4096 Mar 24 17:22 /var/opt/munin/plugin-state/

In Makefile I found:
        mkdir -p $(PLUGSTATE)
        $(CHGRP) $(GROUP) $(PLUGSTATE)
        $(CHMOD) 775 $(PLUGSTATE)

I will now manually change to owner nobody.
But it would be good to correct this thing in the installation procecure..
