Hopefully this will shed some more light:

[~]> uname -rm
2.0.0(0.287/5/3) x86_64

[~]> ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt+ 1 ismail ismail 0 Apr 12 16:13 /tmp

[~]> getfacl /tmp
# file: /tmp
# owner: ismail
# group: ismail
# flags: --t
user::rwx
user:ismail:rwx
group::rwx
mask:rwx
other:rwx
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:mask:r-x
default:other:r-x

[~]> icacls C:\\cygwin64\\tmp
C:\cygwin64\tmp UX31A\ismail:(F)
        UX31A\ismail:(RX,W)

<brown paper bag> I hope this to be a generic bug, skimmed over one
important details. This is on Win 10 beta build 10049 x64</brown paper bag>.

Thanks!
