I get a similar error:

IpcSemaphoreInitialize: semctl(id=2, 0, SETVAL, 0) failed: Invalid argument

if the account postmaster is running under ("postgres" in my case) 
doesn't have read AND write rights to the /tmp/MultiFile[Sem/Msg/Shm] files.

You may try deleting these files (and /tmp/cygipc_* to be safe), and 
starting ipc_daemon manually from the same account as postmaster is 
running under. Does that make a difference?

I've added a "chown postgres /tmp/MultiFile*" to my start script for 
ipc-daemon, and postgres 7.3 now works beautifully. YMMV, of course.
