I wonder, whether it would have helped. But the mystery is solved now,
even though another mystery remains. Long story short:
1) "Bad address" is just a very confusing error message
2) There's a packaging error, namely that pdftex.exe depends on
cygpoppler-26.dll, but the texlive packages don't depend on the
libpoppler26 package.

Please fix 2).

What about 1)? Is this a known problem, that cygwin reports "Bad
address" when a DLL cannot be found? Shouldn't cygwin print a more more
comprehensive error message like "cygpoppler-26.dll not found"?
