Is the result actually the same?  Including the access violation?
Could you please send another strace with the below /etc/passwd
file?  And please send the following additional information:

- The name and path of the file you're trying to chmod.
- ls -l <that_file>
- ls -ld <parent_dir_of_that_file>
- getfacl <that_file>
- getfacl <parent_dir_of_that_file>

Perhaps that helps.  It's pretty unclear why it results in an
access violation.  I've never seen that on my system.
