It looks like the code was munging the upper case characters but missed
the leading "con.":

mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: src_path
/usr/src2/test/cygwin-src/freebsd-src/sys/dev/digi/con.CX-IBM.h, dst
C:\Cygnus\cygwin\usr\src2\test\cygwin-src\freebsd-src\sys\dev\digi\con.%43%58-%49%42%4D.h,
flags 0x80A, rc 0

When I tried to reproduce it, I used a filename with all lowercase and
it did munge the "con", so it would seem the uppercase chars was the
problem:

mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: src_path
/usr/src/managed/con.lowercase.h, dst
c:\cygwin\usr\src\managed\%63on.lowercase.h, flags 0x80A, rc 0

...

Nevermind, looks like cgf just checked in a fix:
