Hmm...  in checking the acl's on my home dir, I noticed there was an 
entry for an unkown user.  Probably left over from the last time I 
migrated my data to a new windows install.  I deleted that entry via the 
Windows properties->security tab, which triggered a massive re-write of 
all the permissions for everything in my home dir.  Now mkdir seems to 
work fine.

No idea why that would cause/fix the problem.  Especially given the fact 
that said data migration happened probably years ago.  My home dir acl's 
do look a little convoluted compared to yours, though:

                     Everyone:(special access:)
                              READ_CONTROL
                              SYNCHRONIZE
                              FILE_READ_EA
                              FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES

                     CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F
                     NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F
                     calculonjr\mitch:(OI)(CI)F
                     BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F
                     BUILTIN\Users:(special access:)

                                   SYNCHRONIZE
                                   FILE_READ_EA
                                   FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES

                     BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(IO)(special access:)
                                           SYNCHRONIZE
                                           FILE_WRITE_DATA
                                           FILE_APPEND_DATA

                     BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(ID)(special access:)
                                                   GENERIC_READ
                                                   GENERIC_EXECUTE
