I too can't reproduce this on any of my machines:

nat# mkdir -p {a,b,c}/dir/{cur,new}
nat# ls -ld */dir/*
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Nov  7 19:07 a/dir/cur
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Nov  7 19:07 a/dir/new
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Nov  7 19:07 b/dir/cur
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Nov  7 19:07 b/dir/new
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Nov  7 19:07 c/dir/cur
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Nov  7 19:07 c/dir/new

Awefully strange indeed.
