cygwin-1.7: mv appends .exe extension to .bat and .com files

- Subject: cygwin-1.7: mv appends .exe extension to .bat and .com files
With a fresh install of cygwin-1.7 on a vanilla Vista system, I see that
the 'mv' command appends a .exe extension to the destination file for any
source files that have a .bat or .com extensions.
To reproduce:
% mkdir foobar
% touch foo.bat
% mv foo.bat foobar
% ls foobar
foo.bat.exe
Same goes for .com files. And if a directory is moved any .bat or .com
files will be renamed to .bat.exe and .com.exe in the destination
directory. I see this with at least the cygwin-1.7.0-29 and and
cygwin-1.7.0-30 dlls.
A cygwin-1.5 install on Vista does not add the .exe extension.
I believe that this should be easily reproducible. But if not, I can
provide more details.
Herb.
