Cygwin directory scans miss files created by native tools

I printed a web page to a file c:\temp\FILE.ps and it shows in CMD dir and icacls. It does not show in Cygwin bash ls, despite icacls showing same permission as in a visible file beside. Why?

Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.6.

Cygwin 2.10.0-1.

Including an example of omission of a file from directory scans below. Autocomplete ignores this file as well.

USER@HOST /cygdrive/c/Users/USER
$ ls -la FILE.ps
-rw-r--r-- 1 USER Domain Users 800271 Feb 21 11:05 FILE.ps

$ getfacl FILE.ps
# file: FILE.ps
# owner: USER
# group: Domain Users
user::rw-
group::r--
other:r--

USER@HOST /cygdrive/c/Users/USER
$ ls -la *.ps
ls: cannot access '*.ps': No such file or directory

USER@HOST /cygdrive/c/Users/USER
$ getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: USER
# group: Domain Users
user::rwx
group::r-x
other:r-x

USER@HOST /cygdrive/c/Users/USER
$ icacls FILE.ps
FILE.ps                     DOMAIN\USER:(F)
                            NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F)
                            BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F)
                            DOMAIN\USER:(I)(F)
