I'm testing it with git bash (and with an msys2 shell), on a setup with Windows Server 2019, running as Administrator user. In a regular cmd shell I can't access the directory.

I tested on a normal desktop installation now, and there I see the same as you, that it works as we'd expect and we can't access the directory in any setup. So apparently there's something different with the server versions or the installations of server I'm using (plain new Windows Server instance on Amazon EC2 with only a few tools installed).
