230.53 Raceways to Drain

Where exposed to the weather, raceways enclosing service-entrance conductors shall be raintight and arranged to drain.

Does this mean that we should put a weep hole in LB's, etc., or make the bend, if the raceway was installed horizontally to a slight downward position?

That's what it says to me but I'll be damned if any homeowner is going to want a crooked service pipe on the side of their house!
I generally cut or rip the bottom of the LB cover gasket, so if any water does get in somehow, it can trickle out there.
