Yes, and that's the problem: by default Cygwin apps glob their
command-line arguments when invoked from a non-Cygwin program,
assuming that those non-Cygwin programs expect them to.

This should generally work fine, except that IMO globbing in this case
is simply buggy: the braces are removed although a real shell would
expand "{0}" into itself.
