I could easily reproduce your problem, which I introduced myself into
Cygwin 3.3.2.  At the time I was wrestling with a new Samba version and
thought I have seen a problem with permissions.  However, I don't know
how to reproduce the problem because it just doesn't show up anymore.
So I just reverted the patch.  It worked this way for years.

I also created new developer snapshots for testing.  I guess it's
about time for a 3.3.4 release...


Thanks,
Corinna
