Thanks for the report. I looked into this problem and found
this occurs after commit:

commit e1a0775dc0545b5f9c81b09a327fc110c538b7b4
Author: Takashi Yano <takashi DOT yano AT nifty DOT ne DOT jp>

    Cygwin: pty: Fix PTY so that cygwin setup shows help with -h option.

    - After commit 169d65a5774acc76ce3f3feeedcbae7405aa9b57, cygwin
      setup fails to show help message when -h option is specified, as
      reported in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-09/msg00248.html.
      This patch fixes the problem.

I have submitted a patch for this issue just now.
