I remembered using the live site for SysInternals, giving the interesting
result: 

$ cygstart '\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\'     # works - opens site in
Windows Explorer
$ cygpath '\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\'
//live.sysinternals.com/tools/
$ ls //live.sysinternals.com/tools/              # works - list contents
About_This_Site.txt  ctrl2cap.amd.sys*  Eula.txt
...
$ ls $(cygpath '\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\') # works - list contents
About_This_Site.txt  ctrl2cap.amd.sys*  Eula.txt
...
$ ls `cygpath '\\live.sysinternals.com\tools\'`  # fails - should be same as
above 2
ls: cannot access /cygdrive/c/live.sysinternals.com/tools/: No such file or
directory

Windows Explorer drive mappings are not visible from cmd or mintty/bash
windows, but "net use x: \\live.sysinternals.com\tools" mappings are visible
from separate cmd and mintty/bash windows as drive X: or /cygdrive/x, but
x:\ is not accessible from Windows Explorer. 
It does not seem to matter whether the drive mapping is made persistent from
either the console or Windows Explorer - it is only visible from whichever
type of window interface was used to make the mapping. 
I have not tested making the mapping persistent, logging out and back in, to
see if it makes any difference to visibility: it shouldn't, but with
Windows...who knows? 

Testing was on a standalone non-domain W7 desktop with:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
CYGWIN_NT-6.1 ... 2.2.1(0.289/5/3) 2015-08-20 11:42 x86_64 Cygwin
