Hi, you have specified an inherited (inherit only) ACE in the parent 
directory’s ACL, so that disables umask. New files will only get whatever ACEs 
they inherit. Since the only inherited ACE pertains to directories and not 
files, a new file inherits no ACEs, and hence ends up with zero permissions 
(which I suspect is no ACEs at all in its ACL).

So you need to specify some inherited ACEs for files as well as directories. Or 
else use FileInherit:DirInherit:InheritOnly

If the parent directory has no inherited ACEs in its ACL then the permissions 
on new files/directories are controlled by umask.

From an ACL perspective, yes. "InheritOnly" indicates that this entry
does not grant any permissions on the directory. It is only copied
as an entry to new files or subdirectories created in this directory.
So if this is the only ACL entry, there are indeed no permissions on
this directory.

You can remove the "InheritOnly" bit, then this would also grant
permission on the directory. Or you can add another ACL entry that
grants permissions on the directory.

I may have not been clear enough, but that ACE has only been added to the 
previous 3 ACEs, so the complete one for the directory is the following:

#NFSv4 ACL
#owner:root
#group:p15875
special:owner@:rwxc:allow
 (X)READ/LIST (X)WRITE/CREATE (X)APPEND/MKDIR (X)SYNCHRONIZE (X)READ_ACL  
(X)READ_ATTR  (X)READ_NAMED
 (-)DELETE    (X)DELETE_CHILD (X)CHOWN        (X)EXEC/SEARCH (X)WRITE_ACL 
(X)WRITE_ATTR (X)WRITE_NAMED

special:group@:rwx-:allow
 (X)READ/LIST (X)WRITE/CREATE (X)APPEND/MKDIR (X)SYNCHRONIZE (X)READ_ACL  
(X)READ_ATTR  (X)READ_NAMED
 (-)DELETE    (X)DELETE_CHILD (X)CHOWN        (X)EXEC/SEARCH (X)WRITE_ACL 
(X)WRITE_ATTR (X)WRITE_NAMED

special:everyone@:----:allow
 (-)READ/LIST (-)WRITE/CREATE (-)APPEND/MKDIR (X)SYNCHRONIZE (X)READ_ACL  
(X)READ_ATTR  (X)READ_NAMED
 (-)DELETE    (-)DELETE_CHILD (-)CHOWN        (-)EXEC/SEARCH (-)WRITE_ACL 
(-)WRITE_ATTR (-)WRITE_NAMED

special:owner@:rwx-:allow:DirInherit:InheritOnly
 (X)READ/LIST (X)WRITE/CREATE (X)APPEND/MKDIR (X)SYNCHRONIZE (X)READ_ACL  
(X)READ_ATTR  (X)READ_NAMED
 (-)DELETE    (X)DELETE_CHILD (X)CHOWN        (X)EXEC/SEARCH (X)WRITE_ACL 
(X)WRITE_ATTR (X)WRITE_NAMED

So I would expect that the first 3 would still produce a 644 mode on the file. 
Am I wrong?
Cheers,
Ivano
