Running boxes under strace shows that it is trying to open a file named "-" and
exiting because that file doesn't exist.
The version of boxes in the Cygwin distro is very old, so I don't think it's
worth the trouble to debug this. I just downloaded and built the latest
release, and it seems to work fine.
I've added the boxes maintainer to the Cc in case he wants to update the package.
