Problem is that directory is not created with a User DACL, so its parent 
probably also lacks a User DACL.

First check the X11 directories are okay:

Next go to the Cygwin-X directory and check up the parents in the path until you 
can see drwxr[-w]xr[-w]x, and check that directory has User DACLs e.g. [sanitized]:

$ lsattr -d /proc/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/

then work your way back down checking:

Now hopefully when you rerun setup, it will succeed with the shortcuts.
