Is "cp" expected to behave as below?

[in$:575] which cygwin-setup
cygwin-setup is /c/home/user/bin/cygwin-setup
[in$:576] ls
setup-1.7.exe
[in$:577] cp setup-1.7.exe /c/home/user/bin/cygwin-setup
cp: cannot create regular file `/c/home/user/bin/cygwin-setup': File exists
[in$:578] cp setup-1.7.exe /c/home/user/bin/cygwin-setup.exe
[in$:579]
