Yes, it seems like a reasonable explanation of the problem.  Would there
be an easy way to really confirm it?

I TeX only with AUCTeX, yes.  Only on Cygwin, no.  Currently, only on
Windows, yes; and only on Windows machines which have a local Cygwin
installation, yes.

Do you think I still will be able to compile from the Windows Emacs,
then, without having to maintain 2 different distributions of LaTeX (I
would uninstall the Windows TeX Live)?
