So, this does sound like a setup.exe problem after all.  Looks like I
was wrong.

Somehow setup.exe is bypassing the mount table and putting stuff
directly in c:/cygwin/usr/lib/w32api rather than in c:/lib/w32api.

So, the *correct* solution is to

mv /cygdrive/c/cygwin/usr/lib/w32api /cygdrive/c/cygwin/lib

Robert, I hope you're reading this.
