Hmm.  The mode parser only pays attention to positions 3-5 in the mode
string:

	val = 0;
	for (i = 3; i < 6; i++) {
		if (mstr[i] < '0' || mstr[i] > '7') {
			fprintf(stderr, _("%s: bad format string %s\n"),
				progname, mstr);
			exit(1);
		}
		val = val * 8 + mstr[i] - '0';
	}
	mode |= val;

so I think xfs_protofile should be masking more:

	perms = stat.S_IMODE(statbuf.st_mode) & 0o777

because otherwise we leak the sticky bit (S_ISVTX) into the protofile.
