Reproduced. Note you problem appears to be with Tk::Image, not with
Cygwin, though you are right in that it works on Linux and complains and
dies on Cygwin.
Interestingly, if you run your program and the Perl debugger (i.e. perl
-d logtest.pl) then simply type c for continue it works fine.
Looking at Image.pm I see that if I break at Image.pm:23 there's a
"return bless $obj,$package" statement. In the debugger, $obj is defined
and there's no problem. If, however, I just run this without the
debugger, but put some print statements in Image.pm, I see that $obj is
indeed returned from $widget->Tk::image as undefined.
This appears to be a Perl/Tk bug.
Even stranger! Change your
$mw->Pixmap('logo', -data=>$icon);
to
my $foo $mw->Pixmap('logo', -data=>$icon);
and it works! So you have a work around, and a bug to report.

This is as bad as it can get, but don't bet on it.
