David, you should find the background to answer your question in the 
Cygwin User's Guide in the sections discussing mounts and the binary/text
issue.  Setting the "DOS" flag in the installation only indicates whether
mount uses the "-b" (binary) flag or not by default.  This applies to all
mounts setup makes as well as the /cgydrive notation.  There's no other
"magic" going on here.

Good luck,
