This is by design. foo.exe is recognized as foo to allow to start apps without the dreaded suffix. Since Cygwin 1.7.0, foo and foo.exe are treated as identical. You can't have a dir "foo" and a file "foo" in the same directory, and that extends to "foo", "foo.exe", and "foo.lnk", the latter only if it's a Cygwin symlink of the shortcut type.
