Hey guys, you're only seeing this bug on resources that manage files?

I'm pretty sure the problem is here:
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/mixin/enforce_ownership_and_permissions.rb#L34

Can you confirm that changing that line to  

        new_resource.updated_by_last_action(true) if access_controls.modified?

fixes it?

Thanks in advance
