Yes, I'm doing that as well, and it works.

This is well explained in the Cygwin 1.5 FAQ:

http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.case-sensitive

In short: it emulates the POSIX file system semantics on a file system
that is not POSIX. The emulation is not really complete (there are
corner-cases), and comes at a price: it's slow.

Note: if you are using the 1.7 beta version of Cygwin, you don't need
managed mounts, as that is no longer supported/required for the mount
to be case-sensitive.
