May I suggest that you look into

man getfacl
man setfacl

The executability of the files is controlled by the executable bits AND
by ACLs.

Try ls -lsa (using cygwin)

and I suspect that you'll find a lot of permission strings with a
trailing "+". That means that an acl is in control and apparently
flagging the file as an executable.
