We also reported this bug and got the same response.  We have elected to use tar instead
of cp -r.  It goes something like tar -cf - foo | (cd /user/joe; tar -xf - )
I am just trying to remember it and didn't try that, so if it doesn't work, look 
at the man page.  The acls work out correctly when you use tar.
