It shouldn't, at least not without complaining about a missing
setup.xz.sig first.  Does it make a difference if you use the "-m"
switch?

No, that is explicitly supported (multiple mirrors), setup iterates
through the mirror list (first level of your download directory) in this
case.  I've just tested again that this works for me, with my local
Cygwin+Cygport mirror.  They work as expected with (adding the
ports.pgp) and without (using the "-X" switch).

All your subdirectories should have the structure discussed previously.
Please pay attention as to what files setup actually complains about
(for instance if it cannot read or decompress setup.bz or doesn't find
the signature file in one mirror, it will try to use setup.ini as
fallback).
