Bug #8192: puppet breaking setuid bit on group change

We have a puppet module that's trying to manage owner, group
and setuid bit on /bin/nice:

        file { "/bin/nice":
                owner   => root,
                group   => root,
                mode    => 6555,
        }

If the mode is correct, but group is wrong, puppet will fix the
group and lose the setuid bit:

        # chgrp bin /bin/nice
        # chmod 6555 /bin/nice
        # ls -l /bin/nice
        -r-sr-sr-x 1 root bin 23424 Jan 26 17:12 /bin/nice
        # pkill -USR1 puppet

        Jun 29 22:26:29 xsp4 puppetd[21024]: Caught USR1; calling reload
        Jun 29 22:26:32 xsp4 puppetd[21024]: 
(/Stage[main]/SomeSystem::Nice/File[/bin/nice]/group) group changed 'bin' to 
'root'
        Jun 29 22:26:33 xsp4 puppetd[21024]: Finished catalog run in 1.86 
seconds

        # ls -l /bin/nice
        -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 23424 Jan 26 17:12 /bin/nice

And puppet then needs a second run to fix the setuid bit:

        # pkill -USR1 puppet

        Jun 29 22:26:44 xsp4 puppetd[21024]: 
(/Stage[main]/SomeSystem::Nice/File[/bin/nice]/mode) mode changed '555' to 
'6555'

        # ls -l /bin/nice
        -r-sr-sr-x 1 root root 23424 Jan 26 17:12 /bin/nice


This has only been tested on v0.25.4 on RHEL5.
