That explains it all.  The original problem was that inheritable
permissions from the parent dirs were not inherited when creating files
in Cygwin.  That was a long-standing problem in Cygwin since it disabled
POSIX ACL default permissions to be inherited correctly.  Now that works
correct.  So Angelo's observation is actually good news, rather than yet
another bug.
