Actually, looking at the man page, this seems to be normal:

---
In order to change the owner or group, you must own the file and have the CHOWN privilege (see setprivgrp(1M)). [...] Note that a given user's or group's ability to use this command can be restricted by setprivgrp (see setprivgrp(1M)).
---

So depending on the setting of setprivgrp, chown'ing a file to root may be allowed or not.
It might be a good idea to skip this test on HP-UX. Solaris apparently behaves in the same way.
