Running "passwd -R" for 'other_user', as suggested by the subject of
the post, fixed the problems for me.
It looks like sshd isn't handling a login failure properly.

This looks like a bug. Can anyone help? Is there a work-around?
Hi Andy,
There was some chatter the last week or 2 on someone trying to get ssh to work.
At the archive mailing list, you can read and see if that answers any of it.
I thought the gist of it is that a cipher is being swapped out or something.
Please read archives at the mailing list while you are waiting for a reply for
the past week or 2 msgs.
Also, the other person said they found out information in the release notes for
cygwin that were kind of recent.
I am under the impression that there may be a misbehavior in more recent
Cygwin OpenSSH :-(
I observe the same problem as Andy Wood was having, and found another
very recent identical report at https://serverfault.com/q/1168457/473559.
Their cases, as well as mine, seem to share, that OpenSSH can no longer
correctly authenticate as a user without having the plain text password
stored in the registry.
In my case, this is exclusively limited to domain users. Local users
work correctly. I can see that at least one other report, the one at
Serverfault, is also for a domain user. Also, everything that is
reported at Serverfault applies basically identically to my case, i.e.
the connection being just dropped, and the only relevant message from
OpenSSH being "fatal: seteuid 4096: Function not implemented".
I just tested this on my local W11 24H2 Enterprise installation with
Cygwin 3.5.5 and OpenSSH 9.9p1 installed as service under the SYSTEM
account, and it works fine for me in a Windows domain with one 2019 and
one 2022 Domain Server.
I tested with a user account in the administrators group as well as with
a non-admin user account, and to both accounts I can login with pubkey
authentication as expected.
The error message "seteuid 4096: Function not implemented" is weird.
The internal implementation only uses documented functions.
Which Windows version are you running the service on exactly?
Do you have any other entries in the server-side Windows Log, which may
be connected, especially inside the Security log. Kerberos or so.
Other than that, it might be prudent to run sshd in a SYSTEM shell
under strace.
Any chance the user is also running Windows sshd and tyhat has grabbed the port?
