what on earth would --login have to do with where

Without that, you don't run the profile files[*], so you get the Windows
PATH[**] which is clearly insufficient in your situation.
Somewhere in one of these files is a line of code that adds the directory
containing the problem DLL to your PATH.
And the path needed to find DLLs that are provided by the distribution
is added in '/etc/profile'. The template for this file can be found in
'/etc/defaults/etc'. This file is sourced by default for a login shell.
I can't explain why you might see a difference on W7 with this though,
unless your non-W7 machines added Cygwin paths in the Windows environment
(via cygwin.bat, the control panel that Warren pointed out, or other
scripting files that are part of the your process Richard).
