This may happen on Linux as well. Just tested on a NAS runnig Debian, in 
a "share" partition:
echo bla > x
chmod -rw x
ls -l x
---------- 1 towo share 4 Mar  7 09:59 x
cat x
bla

The same file mounted on Windows and handled by cygwin is also readable.

> So in that situation the group permissions need to be promoted to the owner permissions.
I see no need to be more posixly here than other POSIX systems.
