Comment (by obenbeimutti):

 Yeah, very annoying bug. I only registered to create a ticket for this
 bug.

 Obviously the file ownership test is completly wrong. The only thing that
 matters is, that you can write on that folder.

 "We're *not* simply removing the check for file ownership. The prospect of
 having us create a file that the FTP user can't edit is very bad."

 Yeah that is very bad, but it is not your responsibility. The person which
 sets up the ftp server should handle that problem, which indeed is not
 really a problem.

 By the way, who uses FTP? Security issues! Heard about SFTP?

 When it comes to deployment it seems, wordpress is lightyears behind
 technology. Absolute urls written into the database, is another huge
 problem. No professional developer uses such a technique.
