Update of bug #19546 (project coreutils):

Follow-up Comment #1:

Sorry, but POSIX requires that "mkdir -p FOO/BAR" must create FOO as if by
the following command:

mkdir -m $(umask -S),u+wx FOO

See:

http://www.opengroup.org/susv3/utilities/mkdir.html

It might make sense to add the behavior you desire, as a new option to mkdir,
but I'd have some qualms about changing the existing, standard behavior, as
people may be relying on it.
