--- Comment #1 from Jilles Tjoelker <jil...@freebsd.org> ---
This change is not necessary for this purpose, since install(1) flags work
differently from chflags(1). With chflags(1), you specify changes to the flags
but with install(1), if you specify -f, it overrides all the flags. Therefore,
you can use

  install -f '' /path/to/foo /path/to/bar

If you want to copy flags using stat -f %Sf, you will unfortunately need a
special case for no flags, as stat will write '-' which install (and chflags)
will not accept.

Something in me does not like proliferating octal numbers further.
