indeed, the directory has the correct permissions:
drwxrwxr-x+  2 jonadab  clipart       4096 2005-07-07 11:58 incoming

but the files inside it not:
-rwxrwxr--+ 1 www-data www-data  15273 2005-07-04 01:17 goat_simmy_01.gif
-rwxrwxr--+ 1 www-data www-data   1509 2005-07-04 01:17 goat_simmy_01.rdf

and this is expected, because the files are saved here by Apache and 
have the apache user and group (www-data).

files inside a directory does not automatically inherit ACLs from the 
directory, they have  ACLs from the use who write them

as a consequence, I can rename "incoming" to "incoming-pre-0.16", but 
the only thing allowed to "goat_simmy_01.gif" is to read it.
