Well, quoting your cygcheck output:

> s:\arch\windows-i386\cygwin\bin\id.exe output (nontsec)

> 401(mkpasswd)

Basically, this means that your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files aren't up
to date.  Try updating them and re-running your command.

Also, your strace output isn't useful, primarily because you weren't
tracing the relevant parts of the command.  You should have run

strace -o trace bash -c "cat <<EOF
foo
EOF"

This would have included the way bash resolves the "here document" in the
trace.
