That's a restriction of the cygdrive prefix handling. You can't override the cygdrive mount options for a single drive. It's an all or nothing thingy. I guess it would help to refuse such paths in /etc/fstab or mount(1), or at least improve the documentation, but, well, http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI.
