No, it changes every time you do an ls -l.  Yes, this is a bug, but it's
a bug in Windows, as old as Windows NT itself.

To fetch stat(2)-like meta information on a file, the caller has to open
the file (NtOpenFile), read the meta data (NtQueryInformationFile /
NtQuerySecurityObject) and close the file again (NtClose).

The problem is this: Even if you open the file explicitely with only
metadata access rights (READ_CONTROL | FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES |
FILE_READ_EA), the access will count as data access and the file access
timestamp will be bumped.

Sticking to `fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1' works better.
