In my environment, your test case also fails with cygwin 3.2.0.

C:\Users\yano>\cygwin64\bin\uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19044 HP-Z230 3.2.0-340.x86_64 2021-03-29 08:42 UTC x86_64 Cygwin

C:\Users\yano>\cygwin64\bin\scp "/home/yano/a" "yano"@server:"\"/tmp/a\""
/usr/bin/scp: dest open ""/tmp/a"": No such file or directory
/usr/bin/scp: failed to upload file /tmp/a to "/tmp/a"

The behaviour difference seems not due to cygwin version.
