Sadly, POSIX doesn't mandate ACLs (in part because there are so many
differing implementations that it was impossible to standardize a common
ground).  So code using ACLs across multiple platforms has to deal with
quirks, and although gnulib attempts to do so, it may be a shortcoming
in the gnulib wrappers that emacs is using.
