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.
