I tried this here to Samba 3.6 with slightly different results:
1) If I set both a default and non-default ACL that seems to work
2) but as you and Rob saw, if I setfacl a default ACL it removes the
non-default ACL
3) and if I setfacl a non-default ACL it removes the default ACL

So for case 2 and 3 the behavior is different than for a local file
system.  This may be a server bug.

For Samba 4 and Samba 4.2-pre (master) - I get an error not supported on
this infolevel 512 (Set POSIX ACL).
