I was assuming, incorrectly as it turned out, that cycleway=track was related to highway=track, except being for bicycles instead of cars. The highway=track tag has the implications that I gave below.

Its surface is unspecified, but if anything, would be implicitly the same as the road. On any way without a highway=*, cycleway=track is meaningless/redundant.
