This line in fmtutil.cnf indicates the problem:

etex		pdfetex		language.def	-translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini

Either (1) the second word should be changed to "etex", or
(2) it should be arranged for "etex" in invoke pdfetex instead of etex.
E.g., make "etex" a link to pdfetex, instead of its own binary.

We do (2) for TeX Live.

I suspect you could also work around this Cygwin configuration bug by
setting TEX=tex before running texi2dvi.

HTH,
karl
