Thanks for reporting this.  That's odd.  I can't reproduce this
problem in my environment (Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 with coreutils 5.90
installed).

Perhaps you can try coreutils test version 5.90 and see whether the
problem still exists with its chown.  There have been a lot of fixes
to chown since 5.0 came out.
