Timestamps not transferred any more on Win7

Hi everybody,

I just noticed (due to high backup volume) that it seems like some Win7 
Patch from mid-January 2012 timestamps are not transferred correctly any 
more when using rsync.
So if I have a file on my host like this:
mc@Skynet03 /cygdrive/C/Windows/Installer
$ stat e6a7995.msi
   File: `e6a7995.msi'
   Size: 188928          Blocks: 188        IO Block: 65536  regular file
Device: 68813790h/1753298832d   Inode: 7599824371269309  Links: 1
Access: (0775/-rwxrwxr-x)  Uid: (  544/Administratoren)   Gid: (   18/  
SYSTEM)
Access: 2012-01-14 13:15:05.767248500 +0100
Modify: 2011-03-28 23:08:46.000000000 +0200
Change: 2012-01-14 13:15:05.767248500 +0100
  Birth: 2011-03-28 23:08:46.000000000 +0200

On the remote system (Ubuntu Linux) the timestamps are not identical any 
more:
root@skynet10:/store/backup/skynet03/Windows/Installer# stat e6a7995.msi
   File: `e6a7995.msi'
   Size: 188928          Blocks: 376        IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: fd00h/64768d    Inode: 21024       Links: 1
Access: (0775/-rwxrwxr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: ( 1003/     smc)
Access: 2012-02-03 13:16:40.537597585 +0100
Modify: 2012-02-03 13:16:40.569597692 +0100
Change: 2012-02-03 13:16:40.569597692 +0100

Previously this worked fine without problems and still works on my 
windows XP machine, just cross-checked. So this is not an issue of the 
target system (which I first thought) but the W7 cygwin client running 
rsync.

Anyone else noticed this and has a clue about the actual reason or fix 
for this?

Cygwin 1.7.9, rsync 3.0.9

Thanks,
Martin
