cp breaking weirdly when trying to copy an executable without specifying the .exe extension

$ touch foo.exe
$ cp foo bar
cp: `foo' and `bar' are the same file
The above error message is rather confusing.
Is Cygwin's cp supposed to transparently permit the omission of the .exe extension, or am I misremembering?
Max.
