I'm not sure how to try out a test release without risking destabilizing my system, but I re-cloned and rebuilt the master branch and installed just the cygwin1.dll and all looks good to me so far. No issues with any of my script pipes or fifos and I am getting full gigabit speeds with rsync. I too have been following all the pipe rework on Cygwin-developers and want to express my appreciation for Takashi, Ken and Corinna for tackling this. You folks have made Cygwin so much more usable for a lot of applications!
Thanks for the feedback. Just FYI, I don't think you've increased the stability of your system by just installing cygwin1.dll rather than the test cygwin package. Here's a list of the files contained in the latter:
