The bug is in cygwin1.dll, not bash.  Here's a STC; opening a file
should NOT change its st_ino number, but that's exactly what cygwin is
doing to /dev/tty.  As such, bash thinks that because the ino changed
between stat() and open() that there is a race of someone trying to do
bad things behind bash's back, and noclobber restrictions kick in to
prevent bash from using the file.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
int main(void) {
  struct stat st1, st2;
  if (stat"/dev/tty", &st1))
    return 1;
  int fd =3D open("/dev/tty", O_CREAT|O_WRONLY, 0666);
  if (fd < 0)
    return 2;
  if (fstat(fd, &st2))
    return 3;
  printf ("%lld %c=3D %lld\n", (long long) st1.st_ino,
          st1.st_ino =3D=3D st2.st_ino ? '=3D' : '!',
          (long long) st2.st_ino);
  return 0;
}
