Try it using a known good locale first, then that locale.
Shut down all Cygwin processes.
Run setup-x86_64:
Select Packages/View Full/Search cygwin/column New dropdown/bottom 
entry/3.5.0-0.231.g93f70d7849b8, same for -devel and -doc if desired, then 
Search Clear, reset View Pending, then Next, ...
Run your terminal, redo the commands above, and you should see correct data.
