oops, no sorry it was this bit from the strace log :

So the test succeeds ; ie. is correctly detecting being able to
create a file in a directory with umask 0222 ; I think if you
are the super-user (root) - and I am - w bits on directories
owned by root are ignored - double-checking this now.
So I think the fix is simply to say : if I am root user, skip this test,
because it will always fail.
