That looks like a bug.
Can you please try it with coreutils 8.13? That has some
fixes in this area; the version you're using (8.4) is a bit old.
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.13.tar.gz
If you're still seeing the problem with 8.13, can you
please send your config.log (when building coreutils)
and the output of the shell command "strace cp -p file1 file2"?
Thanks.
