If you use vfs_acl_xattr, then the permissions are set in three places:

The standard 'ugo' permissions
An EA that holds the extended permissions that 'getfacl' shows
Another EA that holds the Windows ACL's, these are composed of ACE's.

If you use 'acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes', the first one is ignored.
