fyi @jeremyd2019
How the heck did somebody create a file or directory called NUL? anyway, @dscho, more git clean brokenness
There was a 0-byte file called NUL in there. rmdir /s from cmd couldn't remove it, but rm -rf from MSYS2 could.
I guess you could remove those using the (unintuitive) core.longPaths=true setting (if you use Git for Windows)... but I guess these files were created using /usr/bin/git.exe?
No, I think they were created by some build process (these are untracked files trying to be removed in git clean). Do you recommend I enable core.longPaths=true in my Git for Windows config for the self-hosted runners?

In theory we should already do that: https://github.com/msys2/msys2-autobuild/blob/23845c53e0279e34f51a1317a0df619db47f1837/msys2_autobuild/build.py#L195
The error occurred after building https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-xavs/PKGBUILD - so no cygwin git involved.
Hmm. I guess there is code to skip the \\?\ dance when the path is short enough..
