Thanks. Here is the missing link:
https://cygwin.com/ml/2011-02/msg00416.html .

Wow! that is link very old. I hope that means that someone has a fix!

Anyway, I'm getting very similar symptoms on cygwin64 with windows 10 with FSF emacs 23.2, 24.2& 24.5. I don't have this problem on cygwin32 and windows 8.1.

I also do not get this problem with Cygwin emacs-w32 on windows 10 with cygwin64 (strangely enough).

Unfortunately, the following file name (for example) works with fsf emacs and not Cygwin emacs-w32:

$USERPROFILE/Documents/hello.txt

Even some bash commands accept this but emacs-w32 does not.

I use these environment variables extensively to facilitate moving between different windows logins.

Thanks
Siegfrie

You seem to have omitted the link.

What do you mean by "environment variables embedded in file path/names"?

I can't make much sense out of what you wrote, but I'm responding as 
Cygwin's emacs maintainer.  Is there some emacs problem I can help you 
with?  If so, please make a complete, self-contained report.

Ken
