WebDAV and BeeGFS are not alone, the Windows ms-nfs41-client and ms-nfs42-client ALWAYS (even with default NFSv4.1 port TCP/2049) use UNC paths with "@" character, like \\stripe02.zebracluster.intra.pasteur.fr@2049\nfs4\disk02\ OpenText NFSv4.0 client also supports that, but only if you not use the default NFSv4.0 TCP port. So it's pretty common in UNC paths to have one @ (for port) or more @ (for other options like WebDAV's @SSL) in the UNC paths. So yes, please, Cygwin should document this as a supported configuration.
