Eureka! It helps to pay attention to what is actually going on on the 
*working* computer :-). I apparently got things working by hacking my 
sshd service to run '/bin/bash -c /usr/local/sbin/sshd_init' (which is a 
script I wrote) instead of '/usr/sbin/sshd'. My 'sshd_init' looks 
something like this:

#!/bin/bash

export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH"
export CYGWIN='tty'
for drv in <network drives>
   do net use ${drv}: /delete &>/dev/null
done
net use <drive>: <network-path>
<...>
umount <...> &>/dev/null # unmount anything that needs to be mounted
mount -f <...>
<...>
/usr/sbin/sshd -D
