Good news: I just upgraded from cygwin dll 1.5.12 to 1.5.13 and 
tramp works again with a current emacs from cvs.

my .emacs settings concerning bash/tramp setup:

;;;; bash
;;;; from the cygwin faq: take this if the code below from jdee doesn't work
;; WARNING:The latest version of bash sets and uses the environment variable 
PID. 
;; For some as yet unknown reason, if PID is set and Emacs passes it on to bash 
subshells, 
;; bash croaks (Emacs can inherit the PID variable if it's started from a bash 
shell). 
;; If you clear the PID variable in your startup file, 
;; you should be able to continue to use bash as your subshell:  
(setenv "PID" nil)
;; This assumes that Cygwin is installed in D:\cygwin (the
;; default) and that D:\cygwin\bin is not already in your
;; Windows Path (it generally should not be).
;;
(setq exec-path (cons "D:/cygwin/bin" exec-path))
(setenv "PATH" (concat "D:\\cygwin\\bin;" (getenv "PATH")))
;;
;; NT-emacs assumes a Windows command shell, which you change
;; here.

;;;; bash end

;;;; tramp
;;; load ange-ftp before tramp - try to solve completion problems
(require 'ange-ftp)
(setq ange-ftp-ftp-program-args (list "-i" "-n" "-g" "-v" "--prompt="))
(require 'tramp)
(tramp-set-completion-function "sshx" '((tramp-parse-sconfig "~/.ssh/config")))
