I'm not quite sure how this command works under the hood, but it's possible that this can't work in Cygwin due to a restriction in Windows. In contrast to Unix, you can't call open(pipe_fd, O_RDONLY) if pipe_fd is the write side of a pipe and vice versa. If bash's process substitution relies on that, it's simply not possible. Dunno if there is a way to implement this using some hackery, of course...
