Cygwin 1.3.17 changes ls -l output


After upgrading to Cygwin 1.3.17, I noticed the following change in ls
-l output:

    $ ls -ld /
    drwxrwxr-x+  15 Administ Administ     4096 Oct 21 12:07 /
              ^
              *

If I temporarily downgrade to Cygwin 1.3.16, ls -l outputs the
following:

    $ ls -ld /
    drwxrwxr-x   15 Administ Administ     4096 Oct 21 12:07 /

I found the following in ls's info:

    `-l'
    `--format=long'
    `--format=verbose'
         ...
         Following the permission bits is a single character that
         specifies whether an alternate access method applies to the
         file.  When that character is a space, there is no alternate
         access method.  When it is a printing character (e.g., `+'),
         then there is such a method.

Was this change intentional?  Or, was it a side effect of the following?
