[Dovecot] RC15 problems with dovecot-shared and umask distilled

I recently posted about problems I've been having with dovecot-shared and
umask in RC15 (using Solaris 9).  I've now been able to distill what I'm
experiencing into these two separate points:

1. dovecot-uidlist and message files never inherit the dovecot-shared group

2. With umask=0007 these files are created with mode 600 instead of 660:
        dovecot-uidlist, dovecot.index, dovecot.index.log, messages files
	(cur,tmp,new and the parent directory *are* created 770)

(With regard to #1, I originally posted that individual message files were
also not inheriting *permissions* from dovecot-shared, but that turned out
to be a case of copying a message with maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes.)

I can duplicate this consistently; can anyone else?  Or has this been fixed
in RC16/17?

Thanks,
Glenn
