After a bit more research on the problem, I found a discussion thread on
the web discussing a similar problem from 2006. The difference is that
the thread discusses scp connections dropping immediately after
non-administrator authentication.

A response to a thread from March of this year indicates that copying
all of the DLL files from cygwin\usr\bin to cygwin\usr\sbin as a
workaround. I've copied the DLL files on my server per the workaround
and now non-administrator users are able to use sftp.
I've attached a copy of cygcheck.out from the server where this is
happening.
That sounds like a pretty <insert negative adjective here> workaround.
Just setting the PATH to include cygwin's bin directory is likely to
work better. I know that someone in that thread said that they did that
already but I'm not convinced that they really knew what they were
doing.
