Then the BUG entry doesn't say what it means and will waste people's time trying to figure out what it does mean. I still think the BUGS section should be removed. Or I can make a new patch with: There is no "perm" option which sets the sticky bit and also unsets the execute/search bit, and vice-versa, depending upon the "op" value. The same applies to each of the setuid and setgid bits. There once was a man from Nantucket... I sure don't see that as a BUG; just a (good) design decision.
