The phenomenon persists, for these executions:

Actually I could not find a commandline with bash that did not lead to
the dot appended.
Try something a bit different for me, please. At a cmd.exe prompt:
c:\cygwin64\bin\bash -x exit > Links\Desktop\bashlog.txt 2>&1
Examine that log file carefully, or attach it to a reply here if you
don't mind sharing its potentially sensitive contents. I think you'll
find -- among the hundreds of commands that get logged by bash -x --
that . is explicitly being added somewhere along the way.
I created the attached cygcheck.out
Did you notice that there is no dot in the path in either path dump in
the first part of that file? Presumably you ran cygcheck under Bash,
which inherited the PATH that Bash had.
Unless this is some weird feature of Bash that you've turned on, the
only way I can think of that this can happen is that you have a shell
startup script that is appending . to the path without exporting it.
You could confirm with:
$ export PATH
$ cygcheck -srv > x
Then look at 'x' and see if the path dumps at the start of that file now
contain the dot.
Other oddities in that cygcheck output:

Warning: cygwin1.dll not found on your path
This system is fairly screwed up. This tells me that Cygwin's bin is
mounted on /usr/bin, yet above we saw that c:\cygwin64\bin isn't in your
PATH. I'm thinking someone has monkeyed with your shell startup scripts.
I suspect both of these problems are related. The same thing that has
added . to your PATH has removed Cygwin's bin from it.
I don't see how you got cygcheck to run at all.
