I had exactly the same issue: in my .zshrc/.bashrc I run keychain if 
there is also an ssh agent running under my account. I noticed that 
under Vista I had to manually run keychain. The line in question is:

    pgrep -u $(id -un) ssh-agent && sshagent

where sshagent is
sshagent()
    { keychain id_dsa
      source ~/.keychain/$(uname -n)-sh;}

The problem was that "pgrep -u $(id -un) ssh-agent" didn't show my 
running ssh agent although I could see it in ps.

The good news is that now it works (maybe with the Cygwin update from 
last week?). Maybe it'll work for you, too, if you update.
