In any case, the owner of the script is only security-relevant in two

themselves, not as the owner.

Does setuid work on scrips? I know it did not in the past, but I
have not checked to see if that has changed.

No, it doesn't, and it never will. Making "root" a script's owner is not a "security issue".
