I've confirmed that this bug affected the three other fts clients.
One more change:

+** Bug fixes
+
+  du (and the other fts clients: chmod, chgrp, chown) would exit early
+  when encountering an inaccessible directory on a system with native
+  openat support (i.e., linux-2.6.16 or newer along with glibc-2.4
+  or newer).  This bug was introduced with the switch to gnulib's
+  openat-based variant of fts, for coreutils-6.0.
+
 ** New features

   rm accepts a new option: --one-file-system
