Would the following patch or an extension to it help?

OK, I won't. However, I've been getting hammered by this problem for
some time. IIRC, since XP was released.
Unfortunately, the following README blurb doesn't seem to help:
4. Cygwin PostgreSQL can fail to start or not function properly if
certain files and directories have incorrect permissions. The
following usually solves these kinds of problems:
$ chmod a+rwx /tmp
$ chmod a+rx /usr/bin /usr/bin/*
