This mount used to be routinely added by the X postinstall script. IIRC, this has been fixed in X so that such a mount is no longer required. Searching the list archives may unearth the relevant thread. However, the bug may have crept back, or may not have been propagated to the latest Cygwin/X release.
I suspect that some bugfixes which were present in the CYGWIN branch on freedesktop are missing in the branch which was the source for the latest release.
Most likely fonts.dir is not written in binmode. Patching mkfontscale might help or forcing mkfontscale to work in binmode when started from font-update.
