This is a domain member machine, yes?

This is weird.  The same works for me:

  *** Query: Do you want to use a different name? (yes/no) yes
  *** Query: Enter the new user name: blubber
  *** Query: Reenter: blubber

  *** Query: Create new privileged user account 'my_machine\blubber' (Cygwi=
n name: 'my_machine+blubber')? (yes/no) yes
  *** Info: Please enter a password for new user my_machine+blubber.  Pleas=
e be sure
  *** Info: that this password matches the password rules given on your sys=
tem.
  *** Info: Entering no password will exit the configuration.
  *** Query: Please enter the password:
  *** Query: Reenter:

  *** Info: User 'my_machine+blubber' has been created with password 'blubb=
er'.
  *** Info: If you change the password, please remember also to change the
  *** Info: password for the installed services which use (or will soon use)
  *** Info: the 'my_machine+blubber' account.


  *** Info: The sshd service has been installed under the 'my_machine+blubb=

Is there a chance you have a non-Cygwin passwd tool in $PATH?

You can change that in the Services GUI to the local cyg_server user.

Yes.

I don't know why this occurs.  As you can see above, it works for me.

This is a completely new setup with the Cygwin distro updated to the
latest?  csih 0.9.8-6?  cygwin-2.0.4-1?
