Hmmm I've not seen this error myself, but then I don't do embedded work
anymore (much less on Windows).

What version of insight/gdb are you using? Does this happen with vanilla
gdb? (Add -nw flag)

it's gdb 6.0.

someone gave me a good hint: to use /dev/ttyS0 instead of COM1.
it works only if I use the "target" and "load" in the console window. the
Insight menu entries "target settings", "connect to target" and "download"
doesn't work.

Historically on cygwin, insight has always used com1, com2, ...

If you really feel like it, you can edit interace.tcl and
targetselection.itb and change cygwin to use /dev/ttyS#, too.

Has a bug report been filed with gdb?
