I'm glad it has such a simple solution.

Most of Cygwin relys on the permission checks of the underlying OS.
In case of scripts, that's not possible.  Therefore it has to check
script permissions explicitely.  Note that it doesn't do a simple
POSIX permission bit check, rather it calls an OS function asking
"does *this* account have the right to execute *that* file?"  That
should result in the most consistent behaviour, as far as Windows
consistency goes.
