This isn't enough information for me to go on.  You don't see
"CYGWIN=whatever" in your child processes?  You say CYGWIN=tty and the
CYGWIN environment variable says "tty" but you don't have a tty?  You
say "CYGWIN=ntsec" but the enhanced permissions are not there?

FWIW:

    j:\>set CYGWIN=ntsec tty
    j:\>bash
    bash-2.05a$ bash
    bash-2.05a$ echo $CYGWIN
    ntsec tty
    bash-2.05a$ touch foo
    bash-2.05a$ ls -l foo
    -rw-rw-rw-    1 cgf      None            0 Jun 30 13:00 foo
    bash-2.05a$ chmod a+x foo
    bash-2.05a$ ls -l foo
    -rwxrwxrwx    1 cgf      None            0 Jun 30 13:00 foo
    bash-2.05a$ tty
    /dev/tty0
