Am I missing something, or is there a reason one would want to run a
Linux emulator under a Windows emulator on Linux?
For myself, it is occasionally nice to have a Cygwin sandbox environment
to play with when I'm on one of my Macs, away from a Windows box. Wine
is cheaper than a VM in terms of hardware requirements and licensing.
Unfortunately, Wine is still a bag of fail, so I continue to put up with
the problems of running Windows in a VM.
This bug could well be Wine's, rather than Cygwin's.
