Seems that for Global ACL directory, namespace prefix is not part of the path, when looking for acl file.
Is there a reason you're using ACL directory instead of ACL file? I've rather been thinking about removing code for ACL directories entirely at some point.
The main reason is "if it works, don't touch it". Which includes zero admin time required, no downtime required and benefit of long time verified configuration.
We did some tests before updating dovecot in distribution, as users like to deploy and forget, as any attention required (whatever reason) is disruptive and takes time that could be used elsewhere.
We found this issue when running regression tests for other components that use dovecot in their testing environment which means that we would have to rewrite other tests too. Which is in fact just a reiteration of the first paragraph.
