Yes. This is a problem that I work around with this patch:

Then I set the LYX_NO_CYGPATH_FIX variable to have cygwin's tetex work
with LyX. If we fix the configure process so that LyX can do the right
thing dependon on the latex installation, then I would not need such a kludge.

Fantastic! Great job!
