Yes.

Correct.  That's why I was hoping I could use a dedicated group (either
local or domain depending the install) for "Cygwin Administrators".

The problem is not the Administrators group per se AFAICT, but the change
from a different group to another mid-flight.  If the group could be
specified as alluded to above, I can keep the "wrong" group for existing
installs until I get around to fix their group ownership and ensure that
any new installs can be administered by whatever group of people will be
responsible for keeping things running smoothly.
