Using cp converts windows junctions to a cywin symlink

I was copying a directory of files, some of which were windows junctions.
These got converted to a cygwin symlink. Although I am impressed that there
are such a thing for those OSs/drives that do not support such things, for those
that do, I think it would be good to keep the copy a junction. Otherwise,
things can get messy.
Can this be corrected?
Thanks,
A
