Ah, OK.  So it's either one thing or another.

Yep.  Using the libext2fs function ext2fs_xattr_remove(), in
lib/ext2fs/ext_attr.c.  This requires the development branch of
e2fsprogs, but by adding a new feature flag, richacl is going to
require a 1.43 version of e2fsprogs (not yet released, but hopefully
will be released soon).
