setfacl fails to replace ACLs when given a pathname starting with a drive letter

I notice that setfacl does not change the ACLs of a file when given a pathname
starting with a drive letter (e.g., c:/temp/zzz), but it will work when given a
UNIX-style pathname (e.g., /cygdrive/c/temp/zzz).  Example below.  Is this a
known problem?

$ /bin/ls -l zzz

$ getfacl zzz

# owner: littef
# group: Domain Users
user::rw-
group::r--
group:root:rwx
group:SYSTEM:rwx
group:Users:r-x

other:r--

$ setfacl -s user::rw-,group::r--,other::r-- c:/temp/zzz
