WFM. I'm doing the same over and over again.
There's just one problem on Cygwin which you don't have on Linux. The
authorized_keys file must be readable by SYSTEM, resp. by the user running
the sshd service (sshd_server on 2K3 if you installed via ssh-host-config).
You can add read perms for SYSTEM (or sshd_server) e. g. by calling
setfacl -m u:SYSTEM:r-- ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

ssh-user-config does exactly that, adding read permission for SYSTEM or
sshd_server. That's probably the reason it works ;-)
