Ah, that's interesting.  I see no such time-lag here.

$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 lhall None 0 2011-01-07 22:06 testdir

$ find testdir >/dev/null

$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 lhall None 0 2011-01-07 22:06 testdir

But of course I'm working in an empty directory.  I'm also going to guess
that you're mounting your directory with the 'noacl' option.  If that's true,
you might try removing that option to see if it makes any difference.
