This last change is user visible, but as fuse filesystems cannot meaninfully support acls today it's not really a regression.Are you sure about that? I believe there are FUSE file systems out there that are parsing/constructing the kernel's xattr representation and (together with no_default_permissions) support ACLs. Or is there another problem?
Indeed, the current implementation of Posix ACLs in ntfs-3g relies on ACLs being sent to user space as xattrs, with default_permissions not set (and cacheing disabled). I agree this is not a "meaningful acl support", but it has been the only way for ten years. Why should this be changed when FUSE_POSIX_ACL feature flag is not set in INIT ?
