There's another tricky situation that is not yet handled: If the file is owned by myself and I'm in a group that allows full access (but not ACL modifications), Cygwin will show that file as having mode "---rwx---+". Applications that follow POSIX semantics will interpret that file as unreadable by the owner (==current user) and skip checking the group permissions, while NTFS will still happily grant that access. So in that situation the group permissions need to be promoted to the owner permissions.
