Oh well. These filename-crippled filesystems are really a chicken/egg problem, codewise. On one hand Cygwin can't open the files and gets an ENOENT kind of error from NT, on the other hand Cygwin needs the open file handle to get information about the underlying filesystem. I'm not sure yet how to solve this problem.
