I followed the link you gave, and downloaded this file:
  http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots/setup-2.562.exe
It did not crash. It let me retrieve the package I wanted, then
successfully updated that package:

/cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$cygcheck -s -v -r |grep mingw-runtime
mingw-runtime        3.11-1
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$./setup-2.562.exe
/cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$cygcheck -s -v -r |grep mingw-runtime
mingw-runtime        3.12-4

Let me point out two small things:

(1) The initial screen says "Copyright 2000-2006"; should it say
2007 instead of 2006?

(2) When I did "Download Without Installing" as a separate step to
fetch this package, setup-2.562.exe terminated without showing the
  Cygwin Setup
  Download Complete
  OK
messagebox I've grown accustomed to seeing. Is the lack of that
messagebox a new feature? I mistook it for an abend; but, running
it under gdb, everything looked okay even though the messagebox
did not appear:

/cygdrive/c/cygwin-cache[0]$gdb ./setup-2.562.exe
GNU gdb 6.5.50.20060706-cvs (cygwin-special)
[big snip]
warning: .ini setup_version is 2.510.2.2, our setup_version is 2.562

Program exited normally.
