Yes, definately.  Progress is implemented by using a directory with
files in it to count make steps that have occurred.  When make starts
there is a rule to wipe out the directory and recreate it to reset
progress to zero.  The make process's progress stuff is running as root
when you use sudo so it deletes and recreates the directory with root
ownership.

Ken, we should probably make the final progress report remove the
directory so that it is not left behind with root ownership.
