That seems to be Fedora >= 9. Good to hear that.
And I can confirm it with F10!

The inability to RPM-verify unowned directories becomes minor if dirs
default to 0755.

As I recall it, I could still reproduce it end of Nov 2008 in Rawhide, but
there's a small chance I was in a shell on F8 by mistake.
