This is normal, and has to do with how Cygwin arranges to model,
within the Windows ACL permissions system, some features of the
Posix permissions system. Don't "fix" the ACLs - that can make
the Posix functionality break.  While the entries are not in
canonical order, they work fine :-) ...

If you dig deeper into the Cygwin documentation on permissions
handling you can read all the gory details ...
