I was using a 32-bit kernel, using a recent Linus upstream.  The bug
was showing up for both ext4 and xfs, and xfstests-bld is using a very
recent version of the acl package?

If you're not seeing it, perhaps the most likely cause would be the
fact that I was using an i386 kernel, and/or the version of the acl
userspace package found in kvm-xfstests?

If you want a repro, you could grab:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/xfstests-bld.git

and then building the per the README.

If you don't have a Debian testing system conviently to hand, you
could pull down:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/kvm-xfstests/root_fs.img.i386

... and then update the image to have the xfstests upstream version of
/root/xfstests/tests/generic/237*.
