In fact, since Red Hat insists on not supporting XFS with its xfsdump that maintains EAs, and Ext3's dump does nothing of the sort (and I'm not a huge fan of star), I use getfacl to store the original ACLs with my backup in a file included with the backup.
ext3 dump does EAs now:

Of course, ext3 dump is not, IMO, anywhere near the quality of xfsdump (and ditto your comments on star), but RH now *can* claim full backup support of ext3.
