The mystery is solved: on the past my home directory changed. I checked
that copying a directory with Explorer reassigns the owner to
Administrators. It keeps the owner with cut&paste, but my custom is to
leave the original behind and certainly used copy&paste when migrated
the contents from the old home directory to the new one.
I guess the same is applicable to other tools that assigns the ownership
to Administrators, such as CMD, the MSYS shell, etc.
