Forgot to include the setup.log.full data that gave me this clue: 
setup.exe is really trying to iostream::open() this "file" --

file:///Polgara/private/software/windows/cygwin-new/setup.ini

If I paste ^^^^ into IE, it fails.  But the following two pathnames work:

file://///Polgara/private/software/windows/cygwin-new/setup.ini
file:////Polgara/private/software/windows/cygwin-new/setup.ini

(Yes, those ARE forward slashes)  Something to do with iostream::open() 
and slashifying, maybe?
