odd chown difference between 2.0 and 2.1pre kernels

On a 2.1pre4 machine:
root@kite:~>ls -l foo
-rwsrw-r-- 1 root joey 0 Jan 9 17:13 foo*
root@kite:~> chown root.root foo; ls -l foo
-rwsrw-r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 9 17:13 foo*

On a 2.0.x machine:
cookie:~# ls -l foo
-rwsr--r-- 1 root james 0 Jan 10 01:44 foo
cookie:~# chown root.root foo; ls -l foo
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 10 01:44 foo

Why did the file lose it's suid bit before, and not anymore?
