If you still have access to a Windows box with PHP, can you test some
other cases?

Umm, that's on the chmod page, not on the mkdir page. I was refering to
the mkdir function; sorry if that wasn't clear enough.

For chmod it is not ignored - only for mkdir (but yes, it should be
documented there).
Giving Windows developers a chance to not let their scripts break on
Unix is a good thing, but first of all it should be documented how they
can use these modes on their own platform, I guess.
