--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 On a clean build 542 (B4), the following is adequate for me to reproduce
 the bug:

 (after booting, while logged in as root)

 {{{
 cp -f /bin/bash /sbin/init
 }}}

 after rebooting, via
 {{{
 /sbin/halt -fph
 }}}
 run
 {{{
 mount -o remount,rw /
 umask 022
 mkdir a
 cp -la a b
 ls -alF a b    # permissions should be 0755 and 0755, respectively
 mount -o remount,ro /
 sync
 /sbin/halt -fph
 }}}

 and after a final reboot
 {{{
 ls -alF a b    # permissions will (incorrectly) be 0777 and 0700,
 respectively
 }}}
