Yeah, sorry for not putting in any detail. The reason why I suggested this is because I've had the same problem, and restarting solved it. I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing that the change doesn't take effect until the cygwin dll gets loaded into memory. On my system, I'm running cygwin services like inetd, so the dll is always loaded and simply starting another bash instance won't reload the dll anything.
