No progress, but a couple more suggestions:

cygwin now has an X11 PuTTY client package.  I haven't tested that, but 
I guess that should be able to find the X display and authority file 
without any special configuration.

Alternatively, you could patch xinit to use a deterministic name for the 
authority file e.g. ~/.serverauth.hostname.display rather than 
~/.serverauth.pid.

(If you write such a patch, please submit it, as that would probably be 
acceptable in our package and maybe upstream.  Using just the pid seems 
wrong, as there potentially could be collisions in a shared home directory)
