Very good!
Since I've messed with the cygrunsrv source before, I took a few
minutes to write up an addition to the cygrunsrv.README file to
describe the solution that you found.
I no longer follow the Cygwin developer lists, so I'm posting the
suggested patch here.

**********************************************
+Troubleshooting
+
+If the service fails to start, consider whether the service process
+depends on other services and reinstall the service using the '--dep'
+parameter to ensure that those other services are running first. In
+particular, any service application that uses network services (such
+as socket connections) depends on the "Workstation" service; this
+dependency can be declared as '--dep LanmanWorkstation'.
