Not sure about the setfacl but I note that if I repeat your sequence I get 
"dr-xr-xr-x", which is what all my dirs look like:

1 > cd /tmp
2 > mkdir nw
3 > setfacl -m g:Users:rwx nw
4 > chmod a-rwx nw
5 > ls -ld nw
dr-xr-xr-x 2 michael None 0 Dec 18 11:46 nw
6 > touch nw/foo
7 > ls -l nw/foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael None 0 Dec 18 11:47 nw/foo
8 > if [ -w nw ]; then echo "Yes"; else echo "No"; fi
No

Well, this has no effect for me:

9 > ls -ld /tmp
dr-xr-xr-x 9 michael None 245760 Dec 18 11:46 /tmp
10 > chmod u+rwx /tmp
11 > ls -ld /tmp
dr-xr-xr-x 9 michael None 245760 Dec 18 11:46 /tmp
