It's definitely a bug - what has kept me from fixing this is that I am
not sure what ownership/mode to set on such newly created directories. 

The simplest would be to use teh current user/group and some default
permission like 0755, though that might be way too open. The issue is
logged as ticket #3 [1] - if you have any other suggestions, please add
them to the ticket.
