Okay, I believe you, *your* System folder has auxiliary type 2.  But mine
doesn't, and we don't sh it that way.  The Finder ignores the actual
auxiliary type of the folder and pretends it's $0002 for icon matching
purposes.

He probably got it.  Feel free to cc: me too, and I'll bug him about it if
I like the ideas....
