Works fine for me.

That's right.  emacs-23.2-3 is current, and there is no experimental 
version.

That's not actually the binary; it's a symlink that resolves to either 
/usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe or /usr/bin/emacs-nox.exe, depending on whether 
or not you've installed the emacs-X11 package.  Is it possible that you 
upgraded the emacs package but are still using an old emacs-X11?  If 
not, I don't know what the problem could be.  If you can't figure it 
out, you could try giving the command

   cygcheck -svr > cygcheck.out

and sending the resulting cygcheck.out as an attachment.  Maybe I (or 
someone) will be able to spot something.
