Its hard to tell what's wrong without knowing what you're doing.  Still,
from what you've provided, your mounts look fine, which means if some app
writes without binary specified, you should see the resulting file as 
binary.  The mounts don't protect you from those apps that write in text 
mode.  Perhaps that's your problem?  Output of cygcheck -s -r -v might 
be helpful to you but I'm left with the impression that the trouble lies
elsewhere...

tty and binmode settings no affect on file modes.  CYGWIN32 is an old 
reference to the now named CYGWIN environment variable.  Setting CYGWIN32
to anything will have no affect.
