Initial testing shows that it operates properly and smoothly, and that Wayne's bugfix for the daemon mode / --backup problem I reported earlier did the trick... --backup is working fine, no extraneous tildes.
Also, and this may be of interest to any other people forced to backup Windows servers from time to time, cwRsync - which is VERY handy in that among other things, it automagically creates a Windows service to run rsync in daemon mode for you - operates just fine if you replace its cygwin1.dll and rsync.exe with the 1.5.9-1 version of cygwin1.dll and a copy of rsync compiled from source.
I stopped my existing cwrsync service, did the dll and rsync.exe replacements, and restarted the service - no problems, everything seems to be running smoothly.
Hope this helps somebody!
