I've only tried with one specific ACL entry and that is the one created by enabling "Spotlight search" for a share.
My best guess is that the various 'inherit' flags in the ACL are causing this problem. These flags would require an ACL to be set on the fifo itself, and I can imagine the kernel refusing to do that. Try repeating your test but without the 'inherit' flags on the ACL.
