Differences between 'ls' permissions *nix vs cygwin

Similarly, 'cd' seems to return a different error message on cygwin vs. Linux
when looking at such subdirectories:

$cd dir1
bash: cd: /root/dog: Permission denied [both cygwin & linux]

$ cd dir1/<any string>
bash: cd: /dir1/<any string>: Permission denied [linux]
bash: cd: dir1/<any string>: Not a directory

Am I missing something or is this a purposeful inconsistency?
