I can confirm this bug for our mixed environment (Solaris servers using
zfs, and Ubuntu clients). It does seriously affect us, since the
behaviour of file creation is quite erratic (as far as I can see).
Additional observations:

1. No problems with older Solaris servers running NFS3 and NFS2 - seems
to be specific to NFS4.

2. Creating dir on NFS4 share from Ubuntu 10.10:

ubuntu1010> md test; ls -l
drwxrwx--- 2 4294967294 4294967294  3 2010-10-20 09:00 test
This shows up correctly on Solaris boxes and Ubuntu 10.04 mounting the same 
share:
drwxrwx--- 2 martin     staff  2 2010-10-20 09:00 test

3. If I change ownership on Ubuntu 10.10, strange things occur:
ubuntu1010> chown martin:staff test; ls -l
drwxrwx--- 2 martin     staff       3 2010-10-20 09:00 test
ubuntu1010> cd test
bash: cd: test: Permission denied
--> This is really annoying!

Meanwhile, on the other machines:
ubuntu1004> ls -l
drwxrwx--- 2 4294967294 4294967294  3 2010-10-20 09:00 test
solaris>  ls -l
drwxrwx--- 2 nobody nobody  3 2010-10-20 09:00 test

So, apparently my user info does not get transmitted to the server
either, which makes changing permissions extremely hazardous.

I thus recommend rating this bug as serious.
