I changed the LogLevel to DEBUG in /etc/sshd_config, and I was able to see helpful information in the event log after restarting the ssh service. Also, CopSSH, which uses Cygwin, sets some parameters for stderr and stdout that I forget, in the ssh service key in the registry. I've since deleted the VM and given up on Cygwin's SSH, but it's pretty simple to install / uninstall CopSSH and try to copy those registry settings.
