Likely, you didn't start the system bus (the scenario is only about the
session bus).
I've committed a patch to the Emacs-23 branch which ought to handle this
situation:
2010-10-08 Michael Albinus <michael.albinus@gmx.de>
* dbusbind.c (xd_get_dispatch_status): Return a Lisp_Object.
(xd_pending_messages): Catch xd_get_dispatch_status calls.
I don't know, whether this has reached already in Cygwin's Emacs
package. However, if you are using D-Bus you shall ensure that both the
system and session buses are running.
Best regards, Michael.
