  This looks a _lot_ like http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327009:
"Chkdsk Finds Incorrect Security IDs After You Restore or Copy a Lot of Data"

  Running setup.exe and doing a full install sounds like restoring or copying
a lot of data to me.  That KB only mentions the problem arising on W2k; I
think you might need to tell MS that you can reproduce it on XP.

    cheers,
