I forgot to mention:  Yes, that's expected for some ACLs.  Cygwin tries
to minimize the number of DENY ACEs, but depending on the permissions
and the MASK value you end up with something like this:

  NULL DENY
  USER 1 DENY
  USER 2 DENY
  ...
  USER 1 ALLOW
  USER 2 ALLOW
  ...
  GROUP 1 DENY
  GROUP 2 DENY
  ...
  GROUP 1 ALLOW
  GROUP 2 ALLOW
  ...
  OTHER ALLOW

  Rinse and repeate with default (aka "inheritable") permissions.

This or some other, similar technique is required to reproduce POSIX
ACLs with Windows ACLs.  Don't let the Windows GUI reorder them to
generate the "canonical" (but incomplete) order.  This is along the
same lines as described in
https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-files
