Not really. In the default case, the unlink_nt function just opens the
file for deletion and then sets the delete disposition for the file.
That's pretty much all what happens. The above snippet shows that the
OS function to set the delete disposition fails with status 0xc0000022,
which is STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. I had hoped for some other status code,
but, no luck here. There's no hint why this occurs. I examined what
happens in my case using sysinternal's process monitor. Windows
Explorer uses the same way to delete the file(*) as Cygwin does. Maybe
process monitor helps to figure out what happens on your machine but I
doubt it. I'm out of ideas, sorry.

(*) In case you wonder. This is Windows. There are three ways to
delete a file, not just one.
