I was actually rereading the "Solaris ZFS Administration Guide"; based on
it the behavior I want should already be available:
----
The ZFS file system includes two property modes related to ACLs:
aclinherit - This property determines the behavior of ACL inheritance.
Values include the following:
passthrough - For new objects, the inheritable ACL entries are
inherited with no changes made to them. This mode, in effect,
disables secure mode.
aclmode - This property modifies ACL behavior whenever a file or
directory's mode is modified by the chmod command or when a file is
initially created.
Values include the following:
passthrough - For new objects, the inheritable ACL entries are
inherited with no changes made to them.
----
This documentation would seem to indicate that if both "aclinherit" and
"aclmode" are set to "passthrough", then "the inheritable ACL entries are
inherited with no changes made to them".
However, as I originally posted, the inheritable ACL entries I configured
are being munged. Based on the documentation, this behavior is broken.
