Its not a bug, its a feature. You should read http://www.php.net/umask
and the manpage of umask about that.

If if don't want to get the file-permissions masked by the umask, you
could do the following:

$perms = 0777;

$oldumask = umask(0); // Sets the umask to 0 (=> disables it)
mkdir($dirname, $perms);
umask($oldumask);     // restores the old umask
