For the directory entry, yes. These additional entries are default
entries for user, group, and other, generated by code which was already
in 1.5, and which had been removed from 1.7.0 back in January.
Unfortunately the removal of these entries result in potentially weird
permission settings on files within Cygwin-created directories in case
the files are created by non-Cygwin Windows tools. Therefore I put them
back in -63.
Apart from that, I don't see the extra permissions when creating the
patched foo.txt. In other words, I can't reproduce it, at least not on
W7 under UAC.

Indeed. I just don't get how they are generated. I know where they are
coming from (they are part of the default DACL of the user token), but I
don't understand how they get into the ACL of foo.txt. For some reason
this doesn't occur in my testing. I tried in a normal as well as in an
elevated shell, in a directory created with an older version of Cygwin
without default entries, as well as in a directory created with a newer
Cygwin with default entries. In neither case I see the extra entries
for SYSTEM and Administrators.
What are the permissions of the parent directory? In other words,
what does "icacls ." print in this scenario?
