They look as if they were checked in by something such as a Cygwin-based 
SVN client that, when it makes a stat() call, gets back from Cygwin's 
stat() implementation a set of permissions that include executable bits?

Look for "Using Subversion on Windows with cygwin".  The "Preventing 
Subversion from adding unwanted executable properties" subsection 
mentions native (rather than UN*X-via-Cygwin) clients, including a 
native command-line client, which don't have that problem.
