No. There may actually be some obsolete Cygwin-specific code in files.el that's preventing this from working. It's possible that emacs is trying to be too smart instead of letting Cygwin handle the file names. (See, for instance, `convert-standard-filename'.) I'll take a look at it when I get a chance. But it's generally recommended that you use POSIX-style paths in the Cygwin environment. For example, write `/cygdrive/c/foo' instead of `c:\foo'. To save typing, you can put the following line into /etc/fstab: C: /c some_fs binary,posix=0 0 0 Then you can just type `/c/foo'.
