State-Changed-Why: 
I'm somewhat undecided about this report.
IMO if a tool is being told to do one thing and it can't be done, it can be
seen as a failure. If install is able to install a file / directory but isn't
able to set modes or owner (when told do set them), it should be seen as a
failed job (do everything right or signal error, but not do half the way right).

Changing that may break a lot of places where install is being used.
I've created a patch for that which is signalling a failure if mode or owner
can't be set only when -T has been given.

The patch can be found at:
http://people.freebsd.org/~vwe/files/patches/pr139314_xinstall.diff
but I'm really not happy about that.
Either use something similar to my patch or we can close this PR as WONTFIX.
