Thanks. Jeff Bastian independently found this BZ as well. 
systemtap confirms, that mode remains 0, even when testcase is
passing non-zero values.

sys_openat ., dfd=0xffffffffffffff9c filename=0x40ac50 flags=0x404002 mode=0x0

I'm on aarch64, so that may explain why both fail for me.

After applying this patch:
  https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=65f6f938cd562a614a68e15d0581a34b177ec29d
both testcases passed.
