  | 	ordinary user, no perms, r-o file system, existing dir

Ok, I've taken a further look at this.

It was a problem accidentally introduced in rev 1.27 of mkdir.c.
I've committed a fix (rev 1.28).

Update your mkdir sources and reinstall, and the problem should be
resolved.

I thought of the solution - see above ;-)
