I think that is deliberate, not an oversight.  The argument to
get_princs is a pattern, not a principal name; parsing it as a principal
name and matching it against the ACL target pattern would have fuzzy
semantics at best.

I do see that our documentation uses list permissions in an example with
a target principal, which is deceptive.  We should be explicit that list
permission is all or nothing.  I will file an issue.
