No because with Windows paths Cygwin doesn't look at Windows ACLs. It

Where does it get the default set of ugo permissions?
Like I said before, they are hard-coded. It will look at the read attribute
to decide whether or not to show write permissions for the file owner. But
that's the extent of a glimpse into the real world, if you can call the
read attribute the "real world".
