The procedure of installing 3.2.4-7 removes the previous 3.2.4-6, so the 
link

app-defaults -> /etc/X11/app-defaults

in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ is lost and the new postinstall script (xfig.sh) 
does not re-create it.

This causes a lot of problems because, currently, Cygwin-X has

XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults

(see startxwin.sh and startxwin.bat).

I understood your reasons that in the future the new XR7 will change the 
tree, but until that time it would be recommended to stay in the current 
scheme.


Cheers,
    Angelo.
