I should've mentioned that I don't want to use host-based authentication simply because it does not provide the level of access control req'd for our environment where potentially hundreds of workstations will be running cygwin/xfree. That said, I could always add "127.0.0.1" into the /etc/X0.hosts file as you pointed out thus enabling access via the localhost for all time. The "MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1" style access control is working fine except for the weirdness I reported in my original post.
