Ditto for zsh (nice problem summary though).

Or, alternatively, as a quick-hack fix:

How about introducing an environment variable that means "don't have cygwin
glob", and modify the above code as follows:

Then I could just set CYGWIN_DONT_GLOB in my .zshrc and then `find', etc
would behave the same as under bash.
