If you create a file using Cygwin programs (e.g. touch), usually it
won't have the executable bit (unless it's the linker or some other
program which is meant to create executables.
However, files created by (non-Cygwin) Windows programs appear as
executable to Cygwin (run ls -l on /cygdrive/c/Users/*/Documents and
you'll see all files with the x bit).

Hope this helps,
Csaba
