open_basedir directive does not allow operation within directories owned by another users.
php.ini directives:
safe_mode on
open_basedir = /home/ilia/

/home/ilia/ is owned by ilia:ilia

test.php ( owned by ilia:ilia, run as root )
<?php
        mkdir('safe_mode1', 0755);
        mkdir('safe_mode1/safe_mode2', 0755);
?>
creation of safe_mode1 directory succeeds, however creation of 'safe_mode2' inside 'safe_mode1' fails with a safe_mode error about uids not matching.
Shouldn't open_basedir directive allow creation of files/directories anywhere above /home/ilia/ ?

No since open_basedir is independent of safe_mode. It is safe_mode which prevents opening files with different uid.
