I don't have a solution, but I have a suggestion for a work-around.
I never need to run programs this way; perhaps there are other ways to
get emacs to run the programs, rather than explictly invoking them.
For example, I run Yap to view LaTeX docs. I use the following
Makefile snippet to do that:
%.view : %.dvi
cygstart $<
make foo.view
Yap registers itself in the Windows registry, so cygstart knows to run
Yap for a .dvi file.
Hope this helps.
