I am not sure who or where it is getting created, but what I did observe is that they don't have the same privileges. GID of bin is in the list of supplementary group ids of root while nobody is not. If this is the case chmod/fchmod won't clear S_IGSID bit of the file, as you can read from man page of chmod/fchmod. Nobody won't be in any man page as this User was created by LTP, I suppose, to use in this test case.
