At least chown user.group does work according to the NEWS file item from
coreutils below.
It says:

BTW: I use linux-2.6.0-test5-love3 with glibc-2.3.2-r5 and nptl and the ~x86
arch keyword.
So I think very few ppl will be affected by this, but in a few months things
may change.
Can anyone reproduce the bug/problem/issue?
