This is normal BSD behaviour and will happen in *all* directories,
regardless of whether +t is set or not:

Newly created files have owner (euid of process which created the
file) and group (group of the directory where the file is created in).
Permissions will be (permissions given to open(2) & ~ (umask of
creating process)).

Kind regards,

Hannah.
