The shell is not MSYS, it is:
shell: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -eo pipefail -o igncr '{0}'
and the Cygwin Perl is not installed on purpose such that Strawberry
Perl is used.

I think so, there is:
Path: C:\cygwin\bin
......
C:\Strawberry\c\bin
C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin
C:\Strawberry\perl\bin
......
Perl is found there by configure:
checking for perl... /cygdrive/c/Strawberry/perl/bin/perl
I will check what a ls on those directories gives, to check if prove is
actually there.
