I manually downloaded the XZ package from a mirror. Then decompressed it. Then replaced the cygwin1.dll in my Cygwin install directory (C:\Cygwin64).
http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/cygwin/x86_64/release/cygwin/cygwin-3.3.3-1.tar.xz

Then re-run Setup and choose the prior version in the drop down menu for the cygwin-* package(s).

Setup can run without Cygwin. It's the post-install bits/jobs/tasks that require a functioning Cygwin install. Which means you should be able to start Setup, then change it to "All" (from "Pending") on the "Select Packages" dialog. Then find your installed "cygwin-"  packages, then to the right is a drop down. Choose the previous version 3.3.3-1 (from 3.3.4-1).

Of course you can wait till the just released update lands on your mirror or pick-n-choose mirrors until you find one with the 3.3.4-2 version on it.
