2.  The pango warning can already be observed with the current Cygwin

install the emacs-X11 package and start emacs with the command `emacs&'

I cannot reproduce this. Does installing font-cantarell-otf help? Perhaps another font?

I can reproduce it, in fact almost every gtk-enabled application spits that out. I tried stracing, and I think (but I'm not sure) that the warning appears after pango tries to load /usr/lib/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.dll -> there is no /usr/lib/pango directory on my system, and it seems that no package in cygwin or ports repository provides it.

That's the clue I needed. I switched pango to builtin modules over a year ago in Ports to help minimize fork() errors, but that didn't reach the distro until now. If I'm right, removing /etc/pango/pango.modules should fix it.

That fixes it. Thanks.
