You're right, for some reason iskeyword has an extra . in it on the Cygwin. I 
was editing .bashrc at the time. It does not show up on some other file types I 
tried, so I'll just ignore the problem. Thanks,

$LANG is completely irrelevant, the meaning of word (what is treated
as a word character) is controlled by `&iskeyword` option. What is
worse is that there is a number of syntax and ftplugin files which
think that this is not a user setting, so this option is rather
filetype-specific.

Note that resetting it may break syntax, need to adjust syntax file to
use :syn iskeyword. If this is the case it is a bug. Note: :syn
iskeyword is relatively recent addition (7.4.1142, Jan 2016), you may
get a difference in the behaviour solely because your Vim is very
outdated (7.4 was released in Aug 2013).

Also feel free to file a bug report to ftplugin maintainer if filetype
plugin happens to alter this setting.

Do not forget to update Vim before filing any bug reports.
