I can't duplicate this.  If I redirect stdout I get this:

Starting cygwin install, version 2.774

and the log files contain the correct version too.

Moreover, I can't find the string 2.769 in any object file that was used to
create setup.exe.

No, I don't think that level of bookkeeping is worth it.  setup.exe is
not a product.  You don't have to download it to get new features that
you need day-to-day.  If you are worried about always getting the newest
version before updating Cygwin then you could just write a "runsetup.bat"
file:

@echo off
wget -O setup.exe --quiet http://cygwin.com/setup.exe
.\setup.exe

And execute "runsetup" every time you want to perform an update.
