Sorry, forgot that.
This was the corutils from Debian sid, which is currently 8.5.

Oh that's bad,.. why?
Can I get this behavious by using --preserve=context,xattr,all to REALLY
preserve everything and get errors if this didn't work.

Also it's on the same filesystem (with user_xattr enabled,.. so there
should be no problem).
