I could reproduce this locally. My current guess is that something got broken 
with invalidating ACLs cached on the client side. (All the effects you 
describe can be explained by this; in my tests, the ACLs on the server differ 
from the cached ACLs in some cases.) Investigating.

Thanks for the bug report,
Andreas.
