There's no such message, and /etc/rebase.db.i386 does have the same 
timestamp as I find at the end of setup.log.  Here are the last few 
lines of setup.log:

And the last part of setup.log.full is:

2012/03/27 13:48:01 running: cmd.exe /c 
C:\cygwin\etc\postinstall\autorebase.bat

The following DLLs couldn't be rebased because they were in use:
  /usr/lib/gio/modules/cygdconfsettings.dll
  [...]
  /usr/bin/cygICE-6.dll
