Not a bug.  And reading the list archives first would have shown that
just yesterday, this VERY SAME QUESTION was raised:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00291.html

(Hint - world-writable directories no longer fit in the category
of "di", but use "ow" or "tw" instead; dircolors added new
categories to make setting LS_COLORS easier.)
