It looks like simply setting "inode->i_acl = inode->i_default_acl = ACL_DONT_CACHE;" is the secret sauce needed to disable caching in the legacy case and make everything work.
I had to tweak the calls to forget_all_cached_acls so that won't clear the ACL_DONT_CACHE status but otherwise that was an absolutely trivial change to combine those two code paths.
I will post my updated patches shortly.
