Acronyms used on the Cygwin list can generally be found in that document.

Check whether you are running the 'cd' that you think you're running
('type -a cd' in bash).  Also, try unsetting CDPATH (see items 19 and 32
of the 'Bash POSIX Mode' node of the bash info file).

Right.  Well if you or someone else can reproduce it, running it under
strace might prove fruitful.  I didn't see anything in your cygcheck 
output that looked suspicious.  We're running the same version of cygwin
and bash so...

I've tried it again today and it seems to work (although googling found at
least
one more person with this problem), oh well...
