Thanks for the bug report.  What is the output of the following commands?

rm -fr d2
strace src/ginstall -d d2/..

On my Debian stable version running coreutils 6.1, the last few lines
look like this:

umask(0)                                = 022
mkdir("d2/..", 0755)                    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
mkdir("d2", 0755)                       = 0
mkdir("d2/..", 0755)                    = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
stat64("d2/..", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=16384, ...}) = 0
open("d2/..", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOCTTY|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|O_NOFOLLOW) 
= 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=16384, ...}) = 0
close(3)                                = 0
close(1)                                = 0
exit_group(0)                           = ?
