install when used with -D, -o, and -g

When install is run with -D, -o, and -g, the directories created are
owned by the user who spawned install, rather than the user specified in
-o.  Is this expected behavior?  In my humble opinion, its reasonable to
assume the intention of the user is that everything created by install
gets the user and group permissions when they are provided.

I apologize in advance if this has previously been covered.  I searched
the archive before posting, but it's possible that I failed to use the
right keywords.

Thanks,
Evan
