> But some bash does match the pattern:

It's possible that the behavior has changed between bash versions, but
the behavior is not Cygwin-specific.  3.2.17 on OS X also suppresses
metacharacters with quotation marks, and the documentation indicates
that this is the expected behavior. See

http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Conditional-Constructs

Under [[...]],  third paragraph: "An additional binary operator, =E2=80=98=
=3D~=E2=80=99,
is available [...] Any part of the pattern may be quoted to force it
to be matched as a string."
