It definitely seems to be something to do with permissions.  In a standalone emacs I tried 'server-start' and got told that "The directory
`/cygdrive/c/Users/GJ/AppData/Local/Temp/emacs197609' is unsafe"

$ ls -ld emacs197609/
drwxrwx---+ 1 GJ None 0 Feb 22 01:39 emacs197609//

$ getfacl emacs197609/
# file: emacs197609/
# owner: GJ
# group: None
user::rwx
user:gdj:rwx

I tried setting the server-socket-dir variable to another, more private,
directory, but that didn't work (in a different way).  If I set the
variable to, say, ~/.emacs.d/server emacs does not give me an error
message when trying to start the server, but...
$ /usr/bin/emacsclient -t --alternate-editor=""
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
[...]
Starting Emacs daemon.
Unable to start the daemon.
Another instance of Emacs is running the server, either as daemon or interactively.
You can use emacsclient to connect to that Emacs process.
[...]
Error: server did not start correctly
Error: Could not start the Emacs daemon
