Apparently this can't happen even from knfsd; notify_change() has this comment:

    /*
     * We now pass ATTR_KILL_S*ID to the lower level setattr function so
     * that the function has the ability to reinterpret a mode change
     * that's due to these bits. This adds an implicit restriction that
     * no function will ever call notify_change with both ATTR_MODE and
     * ATTR_KILL_S*ID set.
     */
    if ((ia_valid & (ATTR_KILL_SUID|ATTR_KILL_SGID)) &&
        (ia_valid & ATTR_MODE))
        BUG();

Thanks,
