Thanks for the report, but that's not a bug but rather
the required and documented behavior:
The -m-specified mode isn't used in creating missing `parent' directories.
>From `info mkdir':
`-p'
`--parents'
Make any missing parent directories for each argument. The mode
for parent directories is set to the umask modified by `u+wx'.
Ignore arguments corresponding to existing directories.
