It doesn't on my side. Copying a file ends up with the expected
permissions.

Which is why I assume that experiencing the problem with "mv" only is
IMHO maybe not a bug.

If I could reproduce the bug when copying a file, I would
agree. However I am not..:-)

Have you considered checking the "umask" settings which you're using?
