The only use I could think up is if your Windows username contains non-ASCII or spaces and you'd want to avoid dealing with that within Cygwin. > * db_separator in /etc/nsswitch.conf I can't see a pressing need for configurable separators here. Domain users are probably already accustomed to seeing Domain\User, so that'd be a natural default unless somebody had a pretty good reason for something different.
