Thanks, Igor.

C:\cygwin\bin has been in the PATH all the time; the problem seems to have
been that the PATH statement contained a MATLAB directory somewhere in the
middle which caused some conflict between the libraries that loaded.

I am using standard rc scripts and was invoking ImageMagick from xterm ...
I have added a path-modifying statement suggested by Brian to .profile
that removed the win32 Matlab directory from the PATH and this solved the
problem.
Thanks again for your help,
