I've just experienced what appears to be the same problem after an
unintentional update; exiting Cygwin and re-running setup so that I could
reinstall bash and the readline libs (which it complained about not being
able to overwrite since Cygwin was running at the time) fixed the problem I
was seeing.
I'm not certain you're experiencing exactly the same problem I had, but in
lieu of a better suggestion, it may be worth a try.
