I've tried renaming C:\cygwin, rebooting, and attempting to delete the directory while there is no 'current' cygwin installation. Searching the registry for 'tabs' (the name of the leaf directory) finds no relevant instances. A disk check for NTFS problems didn't help.
I did find the problem. At some point, something had changed the owner of /ver/cron/tabs to "System". Resetting the ownership on the cygwin directory and all children, then resetting the privileges on it and all children, enabled me to delete it.
