Cygwin does work fine with backslashed file names. This does not mean
that individual utilities understand backslashed file names. If the
utility comes from UNIX it is unlikely that it will handle backslashed
filenames correctly.
We don't guarantee that every package maintainer will take the
not-insubstantial amount of time required to adapt a package to MS-DOS
pathnames.
