I do understand that the windows ACLs are stored in an extended attribute
and that this isn't visible with 'ls'.  I do/did setup the windows ACLs
using RSAT from a Windows machine.

The last time I looked at the share setup page on the wiki, there was no
mention of  "acl_xattr:ignore system acl", so it shouldn't be causing
anyone any confusion.  If you are going to update documentation related to
this feature, the smb.conf man page might be a better place for a
disclaimer.
