The problem is the putclip addition in file 
"cygutils-1.4.16-4.src.patch" from the src package.

It adds "SetClipboardData (CF_UNICODETEXT, hData)" but the data is not 
in 16 bit unicode format. Removing this new section fixes the problem.

Another unrelated issue: GlobalFree() should possibly not be called on 
handles passed to clipboard. See comment in "fhandler_clipboard.cc" from 
Cygwin source.

BTW: The cygdrop crash does no longer occur.

BTW^2: Is there a new public repo for cygutils?
The old one ends at 1.4.16-2:
