__ac_permissions__ has 'bar' in the list for 'View' (and nothing else). 
bar__roles__ is:

['Anonymous',
  'Manager',
  'Reviewer',
  'Reader',
  'Editor',
  'Anonymous',
  'Manager',
  'Reviewer',
  'Reader',
  'Editor',
  'Reader',
  'Manager',
  'Anonymous']

Apart from the repetition, that is what I'd expect.
