Of coruse it does! you've missed the entire point of my post - *non-root* users don't get to keep suid bits of binaries they copy to avoid the same scenario I explained with the libraries and giving mortal users the ability to chroot circumvent that. That root can copy binaries and keep their suid bit is obvious - root can give any binary suid bit as he or she pleases, but mortal users cannot.
