I am sorry, I tested against the wrong ACL type (my stupid copy and paste error). I repeated the test using ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, and as a matter of fact it resulted in:
   ACL not found: 0 of 254 entries.

Up to this end, everything is clear to me now. Please excuse me bothering you with a wrong test example.

Many thanks and best regards
