I tried this on Linux, Dragonfly BSD and Mac OSX. The s-bit was ignored 
on all of them, but this could of course be coincidential. The Linux man 
page of mkdir(2) said the following:

"Under Linux apart from the permission bits, only the S_ISVTX mode bit 
is honored. That is, under Linux the created  directory actually gets 
mode (mode & ~umask & 01777)."

True, it also says so in Ruby's Dir::mkdir documentation.
