Well then I suspect that indeed the Windows TeX installation is the
culprit.  Probably it sees that the CWD is /cygdrive/... which is no
valid windows path name and then just runs from its installation
directory or somewhere else.

But when you TeX only with auctex on cygwin, why not install the cygwin
texlive packages (or use the texlive installer from cygwin)?  I'm pretty
sure it'll work then.
