Comment (by dwmw2):

 You have described the problem addressed by the above patch. I have
 observed that causing the originally-created directory to have 0777
 permissions instead of 0755, because the umask wasn't applied.

 I haven't seen your other symptom though -- the copied directory having
 0700 permissions. Does it persist when you apply the above patch? And
 still go away when you disable POSIX ACLs? Can you show me precisely
 what's on the flash, and the debugging output of JFFS2 while it puts it
 there?
