I tried it without start and I do see a command prompt. The other thing is,
it won't pause with an error regardless. You make a good point though, so I
tweaked the command. Additionally, I can't believe I didn't know about
cygpath. There are numerous times that would have been tremendously useful.
Now using:

silent execute "!start C:\\cygwin\\bin\\run.exe /usr/bin/chmod 0644
\"`/usr/bin/cygpath '" . expand("<afile>") . "'`\" 2>> ~/.vim/error"

Since my .vim folder is under source control, I'll see if the error file
pops up.
