I got it to work. Here is what I did for the archives:

I ran setup.exe twice, first to install what I wanted to have, then
again to upgrade cygwin-base to 1.5.25-8. Then I ran
c:\cygwin\ash.exe, and ran /bin/rebaseall in that.

When fiddling with setup.exe I noticed that if the 'Cur' radio button
is selected, you can select the 1.5.25-8 version, but as soon as you
do something else, the selection flips back to 1.5.25-7! On the other
hand, if you select 'Exp', all sorts of necessary stuff gets flipped
to 'Skip'.
