I applied the same fix that was applied to chown in trunk r77007 for lchown and fchown. Could you test it on a platform where it previously failed? The existing code might still have issues if there are platforms where uid_t and gid_t are unsigned but not the same size as a long as at the moment it merely casts and does not test to see that the values are the same as the patch you have supplied here.
