There is no correlation at this stage. There are currently two
different sets of ACL userspace - you must have one or the other
and not both, which means only one of XFS and ext2 (or ext3) can
be using ACLs at any one time.
We expect to remedy this long-standing problem soon (2.4.18 + new
ACL userspace), but until then you're stuck with the status quo,
unfortunately.

No, that's not currently possible due to the userspace/syscall
differences.
cheers.
