heres a few suggestions -
try unsetting DISPLAY first
try setting TERM to cygwin
try x fowarding and see if it works (despite the fact its not what you want)
modify the login scripts of the remove server so they dont do things 
dependent on either a) DISPLAY or b) TERM

because if it works from cygwin bash - and not from an xterm in xwin - the 
two differences which spring to mind are the fact you have your display 
variable set - and the term variable will be xterm instead of cygwin.

I think the first is more likely

Gareth
