It would appear, after a bit more digging, that this problem is related to some timeout issues. Most of the time the ssh login goes rapidly, but occasionally it takes quite a lot longer triggering the expect default timeout. When setting the timeout substantially longer, the reliability goes up substantially.

Such phases wher checking for an account takes a bit longer just happen.
I don't see that Cygwin has this really under control. Local caching
should alleviate this somewhat.

Seems that this is not taken care of by caching...I have cygserver running first, prior to anything else, and what I was finding was that the problem was intermittent, 20 rapid-fire tries would result in 2-3 random failures.
