Still, I can't reproduce it. I just ran this with the latest Cygwin
from CVS and it works fine for me, multiple times, every time removing
the copied files from the former run.
I ran the command the same way you did, I guess, just using different
paths for the source and destination directories:
rsync --recursive \
--human-readable \
--delete \
--times \
--ignore-errors \
--stats \
--progress \
-v -v \
~/tmp/rsync ~/tmp/rsync-tgt

I tried it 6 times in a row, every time erasing the destination files.
Works fine for me.
