That's the correct behavior. Quoting "man mount":
grpid or bsdgroups / nogrpid or sysvgroups
These options define what group id a newly created file
gets. When
grpid is set, it takes the group id of the directory in
which it is
created; otherwise (the default) it takes the fsgid of the
current pro-
cess, unless the directory has the setgid bit set, in
which case it
takes the gid from the parent directory, and also gets the
setgid bit
set if it is a directory itself.
