That's it. I bet the problem disappears if you use a Cygwin text editor such as vim. When a native Windows app creates a file, it usually does not do anything special with the ACL, so it gets whatever the default inheritable permissions of the directory happen to be, which it looks like are not correct. You could also try a native editor that edits in-place instead of the usual "create new file with temporary name then rename".
