Not quite.  The POSIX path will give you the correct mapping of Windows
ACLs into ugo plus any additional ACLS that don't map will show up with
the '+' indicator.  With Windows paths, you get simple, hard-coded, ugo,
without any indication of further ACLs, if they exist.

No because with Windows paths Cygwin doesn't look at Windows ACLs.  It
just reports a default set of ugo permissions.
