The security system does not use the full acquisition context but
only the containment. This is a security feature to prevent
a user with partial management rights in a subfolder to
affect permissions for objects outside its area.

I think (am not sure!) that in your case, the "protected" context
is not used as your objects are in fact outside "protected".
