contrary to documentation, chmod can otherwise clear sticky bits using

The behavior of the 5th octal to intentionally specify that the
otherwise leading 0 is intended to clear sticky bits is intentional, so
the only bug here is in the documentation for not making the intended
behavior more obvious.
With no further comments in 2 years,
I'm closing this bug.
