Comment (by israelshirk):

 Actually, the wp_is_writable suffers from the same issue on CIFS
 filesystems (specifically iPage, FatCow, ...) - their permissions
 mechanisms resemble Windows as far as PHP is concerned, but are still on
 Linux, so the os check in wp_is_writable doesn't catch it.  Which, now
 that I'm looking at wp_is_writable, may have far-reaching implications.
 :/

 As far as we've found, the only good indicator as to whether it's writable
 is to try like win_is_writable does.
