No, it isn't. See below.

That *should* allow case-sensitivity according to

And that means that ACLs are available, so the default is to use them.

And that means the SIDs of owner and group are not known to Cygwin,
since they are not present in /etc/passwd and /etc/group. The permissions
are taken from what the OS call to fetch the ACL returns.
