I was able to use these command to produce sane results

    $ cd /cygdrive/c

    $ touch bad.txt

    $ setfacl -k .

    $ touch good.txt

    $ ls -l *.txt
    -rw-rwxr--+ 1 John None 0 Apr  8 02:16 bad.txt
    -rw-r--r--  1 John None 0 Apr  8 02:16 good.txt

I feel that the default permissions are wrong here. On linux when you create a
new file with touch, it does not have executable permissions, for good reason.
This would be a security issue.
