Right, and that part of the test (explicitly making uid/gid=0/0) is
passing. It's just the default case that is failing, and only because
the test's assumption doesn't match what is actually happening in the
filesystem in terms of default group ownership.
From Martin:

Not sure - I only noticed the "t" suffix on the directory "ls -ald"
listing, which the ls man page called sticky, but didn't think about it
much more than that.
