It was stupid of me to assume that this was just a generic find problem.
If I'd actually checked the error log I would have seen this:

assertion "state.type != 0" failed: file "/usr/src/findutils-4.5.3-1/src/findutils-4.5.3/find/ftsfind.c", line 475, function: consider_visiting

This is apparently caused by a symlink that looks like this:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 cgf None       6 Jul  9  2005 n -> //none

I don't remember creating that symlink.  Apparently I was checking on
creating symlinks to nonexistent domains back in 2005.

I don't know if this is a find bug or a cygwin bug.  I could see it
being either or both.
