Maybe my terminology is wrong.  But if you start mintty with no 
.minttyrc and with LANG unset, mintty will set LANG=C.UTF-8.  Trying to 
then start the X server via startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh leads to the 
error I reported.  The error did not occur in X11R7.4.

There's been a lot of discussion in the various cygwin lists leading to 
the decision that C.UTF-8 should be the default.
