By what mechanism are you ensuring zsh is invoked as a login shell 
rather than a non-login shell?

Does $- include "i"?
Does setopt show that interactive is on?

With Cygwin 1.5.13, zsh 4.2.4-1 and the simple shell invocation utility 
posted to this list on March 24 <4242381E DOT 2020008 AT endbracket DOT net> (which 
sets argv[0] to "-zsh"), zsh recognizes that it is a login shell and 
correctly sources .zprofile.

You've probably already checked these things, but I'd be surprised if 
this behavior was due to file permissions.
