BTW, how is this possible when the last "5" in 755 means read and execute (no write)?

In that case, the owner would have to be "nobody".
The bits are "owner", "group", "other", so if only the first write bit is set, and nobody can write to it, the owner must be nobody.
Edit: Although, that does seem a bit odd. "Nobody" owns directories on your server?
