I'm somewhat puzzled.  I tried both of your testcases, and the link-dest
created a hardlink in dest2 from the original in dest1 just fine.  And,
yes, that's under Cygwin 1.7.  The only noticable difference was that
I'm not running a rsync server on the server side, rather I used the
'single colon' syntax to connect to the server using a remote shell.

Here's the result under Cygwin 1.7:

$ uname -r
1.7.0(0.216/5/3)

$ rsync -vrltH --delete -pgo --stats -z -D --numeric-ids \
  --link-dest=../dest1/ my_server:tmp/sourcedir/testfile \
  dest2/testfile

As you can see, the files are hardlinked to one another, as expected.
