Sorry to join in the fun here so late, but I like the current behavior and really don't see any reason (given my usage) why I'd want to mix my cygwin and windows files together in the same directory.  Additionally, I don't have the ability to change the unixHomeDirectory field in our AD.  I also like having everything stored under one main directory (c:\cygwin) for ease of backup and ease of identification of all cygwin-involved files for our virus and our application whitelisting systems.

As I result, if folks feel that something must be done, I like the plan above.  I don't really care what the default behavior is, so long as the "home: home" option is available.
