And that's precisely your problem.  You've now overlaid two mount points
onto /: the cygdrive tree, and the normal Cygwin root mount.

Without this, your command would have worked just fine.

Not really, as there is no such thing as "drives" on Linux.  The above
will list all directories under / that have single letters as their name
--- whether those be mounted filesystems, or ordinary directories.
