I think the right answer here is "don't do that". Don't create files or directories starting with a single character, followed by a colon. The problem is that a path starting with "X:" is treated as an absolute Win32 path. Right now you cannot have both. Either a path starting with "X:" is treated as Win32 path, or Cygwin must stop handling Win32 paths at all and only allow POSIX paths.
