Files/directories in this mode only occur on the system when created from within cygwin. In this instance, it was created by FileUtils::mkdir_p in a cygwin ruby script. It went into this mode after attempting to remove it with FileUtils::rm_rf
Incidentally, that may be the trick -- there might be something broken in FileUtils::rm_rf when running on cygwin. I will refrain from using it.
