Yes, I mount /bin as -X. My earlier report showed that the command line length was not a problem when I used echo (since it is a bash builtin, no fork is involved) nor with /bin/echo (since it was executable-mounted); I had to use /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/echo to expose the bug by circumventing the /bin mount point. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
