It looks like GFS2 allows userspace to set any system xattr, while
the other filesystems limit it to the two posix ACL xattrs. I think
you'd be better off staying in line with the rest - should be
fairly easy after my xattr handler cleanups.

Yes, I agree. In fact I started working on a patch to fix this on
Friday. I have about half of a patch so far, so I hope it won't be too
long before this can be fixed,
Steve.
