Found the problem - it isn’t Cygwin-related, it’s Windows-related. The class path separator character is different on Windows vs OSX, so the service-starter config files need to use File.pathSeparator rather than hardcode the character.
I’ve committed the change, so you should be able to update from subversion (right-click on the ‘home’ project and select ‘Subversion -> Update -> Update to HEAD’, and rebuild, then you should be able to run the command lines in Cygwin.
