  3,4) What you expected to happen and what happened instead
  ACL entries store references to numeric uids/gids. on platforms that have libacl, use `acl_to_any_text` to generate ACL strings that preserve those numeric identifiers if `numeric-owner` is set (instead of doing a conversion to user/group name, like the acl_to_text function does).

  reproducer (similar ones exist where a user/group of the stored name
  exists, but has a different numeric identifier):

  system A with user foo with uid 1001
  system B with no user foo
  file with ACL referencing uid 1001 on system A

  on A:
  $ echo 'bar' > file
  $ setfacl -m u:foo:r file
  $ tar --acls --xattrs --numeric-owner -cf test.tar file
  $ tar -vv --acls --xattrs -tf test.tar

  expected output:
  -rw-r--r--+ 0/0         4 2022-01-26 14:32 file
    a: user::rw-,user:1001:r--,group::r--,mask::r--,other::r--

  actual output:
  -rw-r--r--+ 0/0         4 2022-01-26 14:32 file
    a: user::rw-,user:fakeuser:r--,group::r--,mask::r--,other::r--

  on B:
  $ tar --acls --xattrs -xf test.tar
  $ getfacl -n file

  expected output (extraction) - none
  expected output (getfacl):
   # file: file
   # owner: 0
   # group: 0
   user::rw-
   user:1001:r--
   group::r--
   other::r--

  actual output (extraction):
  tar: file: Warning: Cannot acl_from_text: Invalid argument

  actual output (getfacl) - note the missing user entry:
   # file: file
   # owner: 0
   # group: 0
   user::rw-
   group::r--
   other::r--
