IIRC, the 21.4.13 cygwin install sets EMACSPACKAGEPATH.

Yes, I can erase the setting of EMACSPACKAGEPATH from the registry at
install time, but I'm not sure that's the right thing to do. Maybe I
can detect it and allow the user the choice of clobbering
EMACSPACKAGEPATH. I'll investigate that option.
The latest setup kits I just uploaded now detect if EMACSPACKAGEPATH
is set and allow the person installing the chance to remove
EMACSPACKAGEPATH from the registry.
