This seems like a plausible explanation (a difference in install -D
behavior):

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=6c65ce4c643b038c61bd332aab5ea87a75117273

I've got coreutils 8.25 here; I assume the version on the autobuilder is
older than that but newer than 6.2.

I'll verify this theory and likely respin to work around the old
coreutils.
