I have found that when I do:

mkdir /x
touch /x/y              # ok
touch /x\\z             # fails
touch d:/cygwin/x\\z    # ok
cd /x
touch z                 # ok
touch ./z               # ok
touch .\\z              # ok

I get the results as mentioned.  This causes a newer gcc to fail to
work, as libiberty uses \ to separate names in my toolchain, and TEMP
is set by cygwin to /cygdrive/c/TEMP.  And this combination doesn't
work, as mentioned above.  This worked in B19.  While libiberty could
be made to not do this, or to canonicalize the pathnames, I feel that
this is the wrong approach.
