cyglsa is not doing that on its own.  The actual mechanism to construct
the group list is in the Cygwin DLL, and it's the exact same mechanism
used when creating the token from scratch per 
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-setuid-overview,
without password, method 1.  Essentially it boils down to calling

  NetUserGetGroups (logonserver, user, ...)
  NetUserGetLocalGroups (logonserver, user, 0, LG_INCLUDE_INDIRECT, ...)
