Please, post description into description, not into bug summary.
I don't think bcm43xx-fwcutter should create the /lib/firmware directory. It's a generic directory for firmware for any udev loaded firmware. If anything, udev should create it. If you disagree with this, feel free to re-open the bug.
I'm getting the same issue on 2006.1.
