No. This applies to all Windows groups. I think it is importand to write what exactly is going on: If you have a file F, user U, U is in group G (*any* group, not only Administrators), G has ACL rights to F, but not rwx, and U doesn't have direct rights, then perl tests will fail on F while bash tests and open calls will succeed.
