No.  The installation in C:\cygwin is newer than the one in D:\cygwin-1.7; it's just a small installation that I sometimes use for testing purposes, and it doesn't even have cygrunsrv installed.  In any case, that wouldn't explain why reverting to the 09-12 snapshot fixes the problem.  Are you sure there's nothing in the 09-17 Changelog that could account for this?  There do seem to be some network-related changes, though I don't claim to understand them:

	* path.cc (symlink_info::check_reparse_point): Add comment.
	(symlink_info::check): Fetch FileNetworkOpenInformation rather than
	FileBasicInformation throughout, except on NFS.  Explain why.  Store
	FILE_NETWORK_OPEN_INFORMATION in conv_hdl.  Remove
	FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY attribute in conv_hdl for reparse point
	symlinks.
	* path.h (class path_conv_handle): Add FILE_NETWORK_OPEN_INFORMATION
	member _fnoi.
	(path_conv_handle::fnoi): New accessor method for _fnoi.
	(path_conv::fnoi): New accessor method for cubv_hdl._fnoi.
