Maybe you could modify your batch file to contain something like the
following instead:

PATH=C:\cygwin\bin;%PATH%
C:\cygwin\bin\bash -c "mount \"$(cygpath -w \"$TEMP\")\" /tmp && xwin
–ac –query 1.2.3.4"

This should ensure that your new mount isn't lost before running xwin
since the same Cygwin session is running both mount and xwin.  I tested
this over a remote desktop session running mintty instead of xwin, and
it seems to set things up like you want.
