The problem is on your side and I cannot reproduce it. So that analysis (which I've asked for earlier) either comes from you or you'll have to wait until someone else can reproduce it. In any case, I've verified that setup.exe does ask for the user/password if it gets the required 407 error response from a proxy requiring authentication and then correctly uses that proxy for the remainder of the session.
= = = The output from testing with wget and setup verbose is here: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-12/msg00034.html After skimming wget and setup sources, my guess is it has something to do with "basic" versus NTLM authentication. I saw enough to know setup source is not nearly as thoroughly commented as wget, and both are too complicated for me. :D Is there any chance of getting similar outputs from behind your proxy, to look for differences with mine?
