Ok, let's see what I can come up with.  For the test I cut
down passwd to just a single line and removed /etc/group - the problem 
still occurs.  From a cmd window:

C:\NCygwin\bin>cat ..\etc\nsswitch.conf
passwd: files
group: files

C:\NCygwin\bin>getent passwd %USERNAME%
lemkemch:unused:12729:10513:U-INA-DE01\lemkemch,S-1-5-21-1373454394-1654746546-1
846952604-2729:/home/lemkemch:/bin/tcsh

C:\NCygwin\bin>id
uid=4294967295(Unknown+User) gid=4294967295(Unknown+Group) groups=545(Users),555
(Remote Desktop Users)


strace output (hopefully) attached.

Anything else you'd like me try?
