I have a similar setup.

I just tried your insert-dired examples in *scratch*, and they work (in 
cygwin-1.7):

(insert-directory "/home/kbrown" "-la")

Please let me know if it works for you (apart from possible BLODA 
issues).  So far I've gotten no indication that anyone (including 
Steffen Sledz) has tried it.  It would really be nice to finally have an 
up-to-date emacs package for cygwin.
