I've even tried a kernel with "options SUIDDIR", added "suiddir" to the
mount point's options in /etc/fstab, and enabled the suid and guid
bits in the directory's permissions, but to no avail.  It *still* gets
reset to drwxr-x-r-x.

This sounds like something to do with devfs, since the device files get created and destroyed as the devices themselves come and go. Look into man devfs, also the files devfs.conf and devfs.rules.

HTH.
