CYGWIN=binmode has been ignored in this situation for quite some time.

You could use the mount command. That's how you manipulate those
registry settings.

Thanks for the patch. I've checked in a minor variation of it. I chose
to make it clear that MOUNT_BINARY was being passed to get_int by
explicitly including it in each call. As you correctly surmised,
binmode is supposed to be the default. I'm surprised that it is not.
This will be in today's snapshot which should be at:
http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
within an hour or so, barring any difficulties.
I'd also contacted the rsync maintainer previously so that this can be
fixed in rsync eventually too.
