It looks like this is just the way mod_dav works. From
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_dav.html

"""
In order for mod_dav to manage files, it must be able to write to the
directories and files under its control using the User and Group under
which Apache is running. New files created will also be owned by this
User and Group.
