While the behavior is documented in the man page, I don't know why it is
that way (why you'd want it changed).  It is allowed by the Single Unix
Specification; it says (under the octal mode description):

   For other file types, it is implementation-defined whether or not
   requests to set or clear the set-user-ID-on-execution or
   set-group-ID-on-execution bits are honored.
