Now, how broken is that:

The message comes from one of the hooks, which are executed even
though they never meant to, because cygwin apparently uses file
content or name to detect executability (on FAT).

I just remove the hooks from repositories atm.

I think the bottom line is "don't use FAT".

I'm afraid I have to. NTFS isn't much better (newly created files
still have no correct attribute) and is slower (sometimes much
slower). Not that I have a choice, anyway: it's a typical corporate
workstation locked as down as possible.
