Works for me:

$ uname -r
3.6.0-0.362.g68c13dc92f65.x86_64

$ pwd
/home/corinna/tmp

$ mount | grep tmp
C:/cygwin64/home/corinna/tmp on /home/corinna/tmp type ntfs (binary,sparse,user,bind)

$ echo "hello sparse file\n" >testcase17_sparse_begins_with_data && dd if=/dev/null of=testcase17_sparse_begins_with_data oflag=append bs=1 count=1 seek=$((65536*512)) && echo "endoffile" >>testcase17_sparse_begins_with_data

$ ls -gGsh testcase17*
128K -rw----r--+ 1 33M Feb 12 18:22 testcase17_sparse_begins_with_data

$ cp --sparse=auto testcase17_sparse_begins_with_data testcase17_sparse_begins_with_data.copy

$ ls -gGsh testcase17*
128K -rw----r--+ 1 33M Feb 12 18:22 testcase17_sparse_begins_with_data
128K -rw----r--+ 1 33M Feb 12 18:23 testcase17_sparse_begins_with_data.copy
