This is a dependency problem.  Whatever you observed in terms of 1.7.32
vs. 1.7.33-0.x, it has nothing to do with Cygwin itself.  The problem is
that a real /dev directory hasn't been created when the bash script is
called, because the base-cygwin postinstall script, which creates the
directory, hasn't been run before running the bash postinstall script.

This is some problem in the upset perl script on cygwin.com which really
needs investigation.
