Well, file_name_case_insensitive_p of fileio.c doesn't care:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#if defined CYGWIN || defined DOS_NT
  return true;
#else
  return false;
#endif
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Do you believe this is worth fixing? If yes, I would let it to you.

Otherwise, I will add (skip-unless (not (eq system-type 'cygwin))) to
files-tests-file-name-non-special-file-name-case-insensitive-p.
