Good point. Do you happen to know why the "ACL updates" performed by 
reconstruct remove ACL entries?

Here's just one example:

[cyrus at clotho ~]$ reconstruct user/a0646/Archiv/Groupware
user.a0646.Archiv.Groupware: update acl from header a0646	lrswipkxca	cyrus 
	lrswipcda	iwoehr	lrs	 => a0646	lrswipcda	cyrus	lrswipcda	

Why is the ACL entry for iwoehr removed? I was able to add it again using 
cyradm, and now it sticks.
