Files and folders created with invalid ACL

Hello,

I'm experiencing the issue described here[1]: files and folders 
created with Cygwin utilities like touch and mkdir have an 
incorrect ACL ("The access control list (ACL) structure is 
invalid (os error 1336)").

icacls test.txt /verify
test.txt: Ace entries not in canonical order.

Interestingly the issue does not occur with files created in 
the user's Cygwin home directory but - for instance - in the 
Documents folder of the user's Windows profile.

This is a fresh Cygwin installation on a test system. Has 
anyone found a solution?
