Hi, it seems this problem was introduced in 2.2.46, during the tree_walk rewrite in the acl tools. Upstream has a report for this as well [1].
According to CVS logs [2], this bugs was fixed in upstream CVS two months ago. However, I do not think another release has happened since then. I'm not sure about upstream's release plans in this area, but if no release happens soon, perhaps Debian should include the patch [3] separately? Since the bug also applies to setfacl, not just getfacl, I would also consider this bug to be more severe than "normal", probably even a release-critical regression (due to the security implications of unexpected acl changes).
