I got the same results. However it seems the bug is something to do with a
directory listing cache somewhere. If you sync after copying over the file
the suid bit is shown as having been cleared.

$ touch suid_test

# chown root suid_test
# chmod 4775 suid_test

$ ls -l
total 0
-rwsrwxr-x 1 root ianh 0 Sep 22 04:21 suid_test
$ cp /bin/ls suid_test
$ ls -l
total 68
-rwsrwxr-x 1 root ianh 69228 Sep 22 04:22 suid_test
$ sync
$ ls -l
total 68
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root ianh 69228 Sep 22 04:22 suid_test
