I guess I was assuming that since you're essentially conflating / with
cygdrive you might have to either mount / as text and override it or use
the override option for the cygdrive entry too but, on reflection, that
shouldn't be the case.
You're combining my two of my least favorite things: text mode and
overriding /cygdrive with / but I'll take a look nonetheless.
