Maybe. But a user "root" is comparable on different hosts.

And copying ACLs between two different files on the same remote host
sounds useful.

What might be sufficient is that `set-file-acl' raises another error but
`file-error' in case the operation fails. `file-error' would be good, if
the file itself does not exist, and alike. Tramp could decide then what
to do.

Best regards, Michael.
