It seems you have a dircolors program that produces different output from
mine, so I'd guess that cygwin's dircolors is different from the one on
Linux and OS X, where fish has had more testing.

The ls function tries to evaluate dircolors -c when $LS_COLORS isn't
already set, which outputs a csh script.  On my Linux system this script is
just a "setenv" line, which fish understands due to shipping a setenv alias
for "set -gx".  However it looks like your dircolors is producing a more
complicated csh script; in particular it's doing `>&/dev/null` which means
something different in csh from what it means in fish (where the syntax
would be `>/dev/null ^&1`).

As a simple workaround you could simply set LS_COLORS yourself:

$ dircolors -c >>~/.config/fish/config.fish

Or wherever the config would be in cygwin, and then edit it and remove the
`>&/dev/null` part.
