No, if I'm one of "everyone".

Right.  "tty" is a Cygwin option that needs to be set *before* cygwin DLL
is loaded.  That means it needs to be set before launching your cygwin.bat 
and before any Cygwin services.  One could argue that setting it where you
did shouldn't cause a crash but that just degenerates to a PTC case IMO.
