On my (ubuntu) host /dev/pts is also owned by root:root.  Why should
this matter?  You don't manually create files in there, the kernel does
it for you, and AFAIK it doesn't check for your access(2) rights before
doing so.  (I could be wrong)  Does changing the ownership actually
improve things for you?
