Hmm - thats not really fair on Gentoo. This is a workaround, but the

You haven't misconfigured XFS - I'm able to reproduce this with the
cp binary you sent me last night. It is definately a problem in
ACL land, but not clear yet whether its XFS, libacl.so or the patch
to fileutils which is causing it. I will keep trying to figure this
out...
