It seems to work for me. I created the following test script,
stdtest:
echo "this is stdout"
echo "this is stderr" >&2
Then I executed the following from within vim:
:!stdtest > std.out
:!stdtest 2> std.err
and checked the contents of std.out:
this is stdout
and std.err:
this is stderr
I'm running vim 7.2.330, also self-compiled on Cygwin (1.5). I ran
vim as "vim -N -u NONE" as well as with my normal configuration and
the results were the same.
