This is a chicken-egg problem, sort of. The fact that the file represents an AF_LOCAL socket is coded into the content of the file itself. If you remove the S_IRxxx flags, the file can't be read anymore and Cygwin can't figure out that this is a socket file. It's arguably a bug in Cygwin that it's possible to remove the read flags entirely from a socket file, but so far I'm not quite sure what the best solution to this problem is. I'm looking into fixing that but for now the answer is just "don't do that".
