Hi Corinna,
I also could reproduce the issue.

Local. In the mintty terminal opened after
cygserver is started. In the mintty terminal opened
after cygserver is stopped, the gid is as expected.
The terminal already opened at the time cygserver is
started/stopped is not affected.

If you stop all Cygwin processes and restart cygserver, is the primary
group still as expected?
No.
So running cygserver suppresses changing the primary group? That's
weird, because the effect seems so arbitrary.
Correct.
If I run Mintty before Cygserver the gid=545(Users) is coming from
/etc/passwd.
After I run the Cygserver any subsequent process started
from "Start Menu" had the Group gid=197121(NESSUNO)
while any spin off of the first Mintty using ALT+F2 has the
proprer gid=545(Users)
So It seems Cygserver run as service is following a different route
than a normal Mintty run.
Did you try to debug that?
Corinna
