It seems MSYS uses by default the equivalent of Cygwin's "noacl" mount 
option:

* The Access Control List of the file is ignored.
* The read flag is always on.
* The DOS read-only attribute controls the user write flag.
* Files are considered to be executable if the filename ends with .bat, 
.com or .exe, or if its content starts with #!.
* Directories have the execute flags always on.
