I think I've found the problem: /usr/share/emacs/21.2/etc/DOC-21.2.1 
seems to be missing a few lines (at line 2406, right before 
Finvocation-name, to be precise).

I compared the DOC file in Cygwin to the one in a recent Redhat distro, 
and found a difference at that location (Redhat's includes docstrings 
for query-fontset etc.).

And, lo and behold, with the DOC-21.2.1 file from Redhat, 
emacs-X11-21.2-11 works just fine! (unfortunately, emacs-nox becomes 
slightly broken in the process, though :-( ).

In other words, it seems that "emacs without X" needs a different DOC 
file from "emacs with X", so it would seem that the correct DOC file 
needs to be included in the emacs-X11 package.

Hope this helps,

/dan
