I don't see the distinction between the redirection and the writing, and
also setting CYGWIN to nobinmode has no effect, so rule c does not seem to
be relevant.

If you set CYGWIN=nobinmode, I believe you will get newline conversions done across pipes. In your example, you are only using redirections. I would advise that you don't set it.

But also, specifying output as '.\sedtestout' did NOT solve the problem,
even with nobinmode in effect.  So rule b is governing the input but is
not being applied on output.

Works for me - see attached session output.



You are right. I neglected to quote the .\sedtestout when I tried it.


So it all makes sense in terms of it following the rules. But I am curious as to the reason for rule b. Most things in Cygwin seem to deal interchangeably with windows and cygwin paths.
