If the editor (or whatever you are using to create the files, or maybe uv itself, if you are creating them through a BASIC program) is owned by the "bin" group and is setgid, that would do it, I think. I doubt that UV is doing anything special with the group, but I could be wrong.
Incidentally, I meant to send my reply to the list, but forgot about that "reply all" thing. So, I'm copying the list now...
