Your latest message prompted me to search microsoft.com further, and I 
found this:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/190315

which says that the glitchy behavior is "by design" (!) and occurs in 
NTFS but not FAT (!!).

I wonder whether Cygwin deals with this problem?

Perhaps we should just advise NTFS users to not click the box saying 
"Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" in their 
MS-Windows preferences.
