I don't see any problems with this file on sourceware:

% bzip2 --test -v libGraphicsMagick-devel-1.3.12-1.tar.bz2
  libGraphicsMagick-devel-1.3.12-1.tar.bz2: ok

However, when I try to download the file setup properly notices that
the md5sum is wrong.  I've corrected it.  The reason for the mismatch
is 1) http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2010-06/msg00104.html and 2)
sourceware's lame algorithm for updating the md5.sum file.  Someday I
have to fix that.

So, it sounds like you're actually somehow using an out-of-date mirror.
