As far as I can tell, none of the other places in the Emacs sources
where `set-file-modes' is used take any OS specific precautions.
Also, does this only happen for XEmacs+cygwin -- what about
XEmacs+windows, Emacs+windows, Emacs+cygwin, Emacs+dos etc.
If XEmacs+cygwin is the odd man out, I think it would be better to
make it consistant with the other ports.
