Snipplet from the man page of mount(8):
 Mount options for devpts
        The devpts file system is a pseudo file system, traditionally
        mounted on /dev/pts.  In order to acquire a pseudo terminal, a
        process  opens  /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo terminal is
        then made available to the process and the pseudo terminal slave
        can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>.

        uid=value and gid=value This sets the owner or the group of
               newly created PTYs to the specified values. When nothing
               is specified, they will be set to the UID and GID of the
               creating process.  For example, if there is a tty group
               with GID 5, then gid=5 will cause newly created PTYs to
               belong to the tty group.

        mode=value Set the mode of newly created PTYs to the specified
               value.  The default is 0600.  A value of mode=620 and
               gid=5 makes "mesg  y"  the  default  on newly created
               PTYs.

This is wrong. The default gid is 0 which means that the egid of the
process creating the file is used. (See the source fs/devpts/inode.c)
