Cool. Thank you. I applied the patch to CVS. This will be in
Cygwin 1.7.7.

As you can see in the User's Guide
(http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table)
the ihash mount option results in ignoring the real inode numbers and
just fake them by computing a hash value from the full pathname of the
file. The disadvantage is that you can't recognize hardlinks. That's
the reason I don't want to enforce the option on all NTFS-faking file
systems (== "cifs"). If you think that's not a problem for you, you're
all set. Otherwise, just add explicit mount points for your two local
NTFS drives with different mount options.

Yep, that's noted in the news for 1.7.2:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ov-new1.7.html#ov-new1.7.2
UNC paths now default to the same mount options as the cygdrive prefix.
Thanks again for testing,
