I somewhat doubt that: As I told, I'm using a US-layout keyboard in its
native US mapping. The only thing non-US in my setup is the Language
setting (i.e. i18n stuff), and the fact that my Win98 is a German edition.

And it's not the pipe '|' I was having problem with. It's other keys.

Anyway: the problem mostly went away once I rebooted the machine (the next
day, only, as the Cygwin setup didn't think I had to reboot).  It
reappeared in a particular session, a bit later, but I didn't find any
particular series of actions that would reproduce it.

Maybe the problem really is that I didn't uninstall my b20.1 installation
first.  I can't: the entry in the uninstall menu doesn't exist.

Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
