The Cygwin version of cpio has been built from the vanilla upstream sources of cpio-2.9 and it appears this is an upstream bug. I found that already quite a few bugfixes exist for cpio 2.9 and AFAICS this bug should be fixed by one of them as well. I'm somewhat time constraint in the next couple of days, but I will update cpio to all the bugfixes I have available, eventually.
