However, as you can see, the remote system has ACL support, and
another system backs up to there just fine.

Well, except the root filesystem doesn't have ACLs but others do.

I am closing it, and I'd like to thank you for your time! Even
though I'd still prefer things to be different, I don't have code
knowledge and will thus just accept your explanations.
I guess that one easy solution would be to simply add ACLs to the
root filesystem.
Another would be to simply drop the --never-drop-acls option, since
I can't use it anyway: rdiff-backup cannot possibly map all
users/groups to local users/groups on the backup server, which is
being used by a number of machines.
