I did a few simple tests here, I also find that umask doesn't like
setting sticky and {s,g}uid. Maybe you can achieve the same result with
acls?
What's the reason you want to set the sticky bit for thaqt user? With
some more info, maybe we can come up with an alternative
Incidentally, even if we persuade umask to set the sticky bit on dirs,
it's probably not what you want, as it'll make all files sticky as well
