By "not specific to linux" I meant that this was behavior expected of any POSIX implementation. As mentioned above, the reason is that copying in linux will try to match the permissions (cp -a will try to match exactly) of the source by doing a chmod. Also as mentioned there is a solution for your requirement -- take it or leave it.
Of course, since we have the source it is always possible to patch <your favorite file manager> to reset ACL mask -- the patch should be simple enough.
