Two things jump out at me.  First, it's clear from the environment 
variables that you ran cygcheck from a shell within emacs.  I don't 
think it matters in this case, but in general it's probably best not to 
do that, since you want to see the environment *before* starting emacs. 
   Emacs changes some of the variables.

More importantly, I see this:

I don't know whether this could be causing your problem, but the cygwin 
user's guide (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html) says 
the following:

check_case:level - THIS OPTION IS DEPRECATED. Don't use it unless you 
know what you're doing and don't see any way around it. And even then, 
this option is error prone, slows down Cygwin and not well maintained.

Just run setup.exe, locate the emacs packages, and repeatedly click on 
the version number in the "New" column.  It cycles through all of the 
choices, one of which should be 23.0.92-2.
