I've verified that `chown -R user:group *` does not change the owner of
files in the parent directory in 11.10. Please reopen with more details
instructions if you can consistently reproduce this.

Note that using '*' to specify the current directory is generally bad
practice. It relies on shell expansion and may have undesired results. I
suggest using `chown -R user:group .`
