Try doing stat(2) on file.txt which contains "#!/bin/sh" in its first
line and for which you have issued a chmod yet. Like a new file, or
like every file in a git-tracked directory after you did a fresh
checkout. Cygwin actually opens the files when doing stat(2), looks
inside and tries to guess if they are executable.

You should have said: "Cygwin _never_ had problems with chmod because
it cannot and didn't make it work". It is not just chmod, the other
side, stat, matters as well.
