I don't think it's Cygwin specific.

I also tried file:///g/x.tar.gz (I used mount to access without
"cygdrive").

I think it shouldn't print "Alert!: Unable to access document."
because the file exists and I accessed it.

It only prints the error when you're prompted with

application/octet-stream  D)ownload, or C)ancel

and Cancel.
