Found the problem: Emacs fails on its "unlock-buffer" call from
emacs/src/filelock.c.

Feature described here:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/File-Locks.html

To prevent of special symlink creation I disabled that feature:

(setq create-lockfiles nil)

So no need to waste time on TRAMP mode if it is supported natively by Cygwin!

Thx to Henry for giving me the right spin!
