That was an XFS bug, and has been fixed a while ago. Your workaround is
correct, though. The XFS guys will likely still recommend you to upgrade
to a more recent version, because of other fixes.
With XFS you will currently get no more than 25 ACL entries; with
ext2/ext3 the limit is set to 32. This has so far been enough for
everybody; if you seem to need bigger ACLs, please verify that you can't
use groups instead.
