Interesting...
Notice that if you replace "/" with the /cygdrive path to your root dir,
that it works:

(Administrator)[219] ~/src/zsh/work406/zsh-4.0.6 % cdpath=/cygdrive/e/cygwin    
(Administrator)[220] ~/src/zsh/work406/zsh-4.0.6 % cd bin          
/cygdrive/e/cygwin/bin
(Administrator)[221] /cygdrive/e/cygwin/bin %          

It doesn't appear to be a mount-point issue.  If you set/add one of the
other mountpoints, like /usr/lib, you can cd to a subdir without any
trouble.  It appears to be just root ("/").
I'll look into it.
