What wound up doing was backing up all the files from my documents
disk to a scratch disk, reformatting the documents disk, and restoring
the backup, and finally running icacls /reset on the whole drive.
This seems to have my system working ok now.

But there is still something different about 2.5.0-1 that prevented it
from writing a confused ACL.
