So only user1&2 can access HEAD, and only user1 can access TEST.

You need at least read access to all the parent directories of a
folder before the permissions on that folder can be used (so 'n'
implicitly replates down, but none of the other permissions do).
chacl has a recursive (-R) option to permit relication of permissions.

OK.

They shouldn't actually be able to checkout, since they have no
permission to do so - that's probably a bug. Otherwise it's behaving
correctly.

User2 only has write permission to the HEAD, not TEST. This is how it
is supposed to work. You would have to give user2 write/create
permissions to TEST to achieve what you want.
(btw. your use of the word 'stream' seems to suggest you're expecting
cvs to work like some other tool - which one would that be? cvs has
branches and directories. I'm assuming by stream you mean branch).
