I think the right answer here is "don't do that".  Don't create files or
directories starting with a single character, followed by a colon.  The
problem is that a path starting with "X:" is treated as an absolute
Win32 path.

Right now you cannot have both.  Either a path starting with "X:" is
treated as Win32 path, or Cygwin must stop handling Win32 paths at all
and only allow POSIX paths.
