I don't see the bug.
As of the May 18 change to afsfileprocs.c in the fileserver source, an
ordinary user gets EACCES if trying to create a setuid or setgid file,
as you were in the first cp. Presumably, /tmp/foo wasn't setuid/setgid
(those bits got stripped off in the second cp, from AFS to UFS). So,
the third cp was OK, and should have also worked if the destination
name were xscreensaver instead of foo.
