Yeah, the version mismatch was the problem. Reboot did not help, reinstalling
cygwin package did the trick. Thanks!

In addition, I had to reinstall the texlive-collection-latex package, because
pdftex.pool file was broken. I guess this was because the postinstall script
was run with the wrong version of cygwin DLL.

Now I'm a little bit unsure: is there any way to check which postinstall
scirpts were run with the wrong DLL version and might therefore have broken?
Probably not?
