Not entirely true, Ryan.  Using my server as an example:

-bash-2.05b$ ls -la | grep wp-content                                                                               
drwxrwxrwx   21 techno   psacln      28672 Dec 31 15:29 wp-content
drwxrwxrwx    4 techno   psacln     172032 Dec 17 12:57 wp-content.old


And my newly WP-created 2006 directory:

-bash-2.05b$ ls -la
total 40
drwxrwxrwx    4 techno   psacln       4096 Jan  1 19:10 .
drwxrwxrwx   21 techno   psacln      28672 Dec 31 15:29 ..
drwxrwxrwx    4 techno   psacln       4096 Dec 19 00:48 2005
drwxrwxrwx    3 apache   apache       4096 Jan  1 19:10 2006


Now what this tells me is earlier version of WP 2 were doing what you say. 2005 is owned by techno (me), but 2006 is owned by apache...
