xfstest generic/018 and ext4 defrag

I see an earlier thread about ext4 defrag problems causing this
failure on xfstest generic/018 running on ext4

generic/018 1s ... [failed, exit status 1] - output mismatch (see
/home/sfrench/xfstests/results//generic/018.out.bad)

but wasn't clear whether it was fixed upstream.  It failed on two out
of three runs for me on most current ext4.  My test is on most current
Ubuntu x86_64  (and with 3.18-rc3 kernel)
I couldn't find version info for e4defrag from the command line but
other ext4 tools are reasonably recent it seems as Ubuntu packages
them e.g. EXT2FS Library version 1.42.10, 18-May-2014

Is generic xfstest 18 still broken on ext4?

Also am curious about test generic/026

generic/026  [not run] ext4 does not define maximum ACL count

Is that expected?
