Sorry.  I actually [think I] know that, but copied the wrong test.
As you'll see below, -A yields the same results:


	[root at house0 t]# getfacl f1 f2
	# file: f1
	# owner: adm
	# group: sys
	user::r-x
	group::r-x
	mask::r-x
	other::r-x
	
	getfacl: f2: No such file or directory
	[root at house0 t]# rsync -aA -v --itemize-changes f1 f2
	sending incremental file list
	>f+++++++++ f1
	
	sent 77 bytes  received 31 bytes  216.00 bytes/sec
	total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
	[root at house0 t]# getfacl f1 f2
	# file: f1
	# owner: adm
	# group: sys
	user::r-x
	group::r-x
	mask::r-x
	other::r-x
	
	# file: f2
	# owner: adm
	# group: sys
	user::r-x
	group::r-x
	other::r-x
	
	[root at house0 t]# 

As far as I can tell, this is somehow the result of the
particular ACL state of f1.  If I tweak it slightly, all
works as one would expect.  For example:

      [root at house0 t]# setfacl -m u:andrew:r-x f1
      [root at house0 t]# getfacl f1 f2
      # file: f1
      # owner: adm
      # group: sys
      user::r-x
      user:andrew:r-x
      group::r-x
      mask::r-x
      other::r-x
      
      getfacl: f2: No such file or directory
      [root at house0 t]# rsync -aA -v --itemize-changes f1 f2
      sending incremental file list
      >f+++++++++ f1
      
      sent 88 bytes  received 31 bytes  238.00 bytes/sec
      total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
      [root at house0 t]# getfacl f1 f2
      # file: f1
      # owner: adm
      # group: sys
      user::r-x
      user:andrew:r-x
      group::r-x
      mask::r-x
      other::r-x
      
      # file: f2
      # owner: adm
      # group: sys
      user::r-x
      user:andrew:r-x
      group::r-x
      mask::r-x
      other::r-x
      
      [root at house0 t]#
