It looks like a side effect of fixing another problem:

Fixed a bug that caused _setObject to overwrite the Owner local role
whenever an object was moved or renamed. It now only tries to set the
Owner role if the current local roles are None (which should only be
the case for a new object). In all other cases (moves, copies, renames)
the existing local roles will be preserved and the 'Owner' role is not
updated.
