Please report all the details: the ACLs and the owner of that file,
and your user's name and group.  It is impossible to investigate this
without those details.

There was no change in handling of ACLs between Emacs 26 and 27, but
some file-related operations now signal an error instead of silently
failing.  I'm guessing you bumped into one such situation.

Thanks.
