I realized this wasn't very clear. To be explicit: I can successfully import the cygwin-apps repository above with my v2.0.2 build.

I'll try to replicate that myself, but assuming I see the same behaviour, that implies there's something going wrong that's probably beyond my ability to debug with the time I can spare. That said, if the 64-bit version works, and assuming nobody here objects, I'll suggest releasing that 2.0.2 build and just highlighting the bug in the release email, and suggesting using the 64-bit build for folk affected by the bug. I'll be back at my own computer later this week, so I should be able to rebuild and test properly either this week or next.
