While the behavior is documented in the man page, I don't know why it is
that way (why you'd want it changed). It is allowed by the Single Unix
Specification; it says (under the octal mode description):
For other file types, it is implementation-defined whether or not
requests to set or clear the set-user-ID-on-execution or
set-group-ID-on-execution bits are honored.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
