Yes, that scenario fails on W7 but works on W10 1709 and later.  Keep in
mind that the OS doesn't allow to reopen a file which has been deleted.
Cygwin tries a best effort by duplicating the handle.  A duplicated file
handle can't have more permissions than the original handle, so if the
original handle was opened for reading only, the duplicated handle can't
have write perms.

Yes, that's expected.  Cygwin first tries to open the file for DELETE
only.  If that works, it can just delete the file and be done with it.

However, if there's any other open handle to the file with more perms
than just DELETE, this first call fails with STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION.
Now Cygwin knows that the file is in-use and that the job is not just
done with deleting the file.  More effort is required.
