Looks like it is the new parsing code. This:
C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --run-notty --run-debug=2 /usr/bin/bash.exe -l
-c "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- :1"
reports that run is trying to execute the following command line:
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- :1
That is, the quotes are dropped. For now, try escaping them:
C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c \"/usr/bin/startxwin.exe
-- :1\"
