No. This applies to all Windows groups.

I think it is importand to write what exactly is going on:

If you have a file F, user U, U is in group G (*any* group, not only
Administrators), G has ACL rights to F, but not rwx, and U doesn't have
direct rights, then perl tests will fail on F while bash tests and open
calls will succeed.
