Thanks for the report, but I can't reproduce it on a GNU/Linux-2.4.4
system using a local disk:

  $ cd /tmp
  $ mkdir d
  $ touch f
  $ install f d/
  $ find d
  d
  d/f
  $

Please give more information:
  what is the type of OS?
  is the disk in question local/NFS/?
  if the disk is not local, from what type of system is it mounted?
  what commands did you use to demonstrate the problem?
  what was the precise failure?
