"inherit owner" does not work, if inherit acls = yes and the the default ACL for owner 's execute bit is not set.

Is this by design?

To reproduce:

smb.conf
-----
[share]
  path = /some/where/share
  writeable = yes
  inherit owner = yes
  inherit acls = yes

; The settings below does not need to reproduce.
; I include these to show why I would like to set these settings.

  dos filemode = yes
  acl group control = yes
  force group = root

  store dos attributes = yes
  map read only = no
  map archive = no
-----

ACL setting:
------------
# getfacl share/
# file: share/
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
group::r-x
group:group1:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---
default:user::rw- <--- set not to include execute bit
default:group::---
default:group:group1:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---

Permission setting:
-------------------
# ls -l
total 8
drwxrwx---+ 40 root   root   4096 Aug 21 16:52 share

And access as an USER who belongs to "group1" group.

If USER creates any directory under share, the owner of the directory set to the
USER, not to "root".

log.smbd shows:
