Probably not. We should follow coreutils and just issue a warning if we
can't copy the acl (which is the default behavior of `mv' and also `cp' if
`--preserve=all' is used).

I think that is too radical, it should display a warning so that the user
can decide what to do. Since Emacs only makes a backup the first time you
save, the warning shouldn't be too annoying.
