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.

Cheers,
Gilad
