test script "/tmp/foo", and test run showing the problem:

  ~ $ cat /tmp/foo
  #!/bin/bash
  file=$1
  TMPF=$(mktemp /tmp/XXXXXX)

  set -x
  test -s "$file" || echo $?

  cp $file $TMPF
  cat $TMPF
  ~ $ /tmp/foo <(echo ABC)
  + test -s /proc/self/fd/63
  + echo 1

  ~ $ cygcheck -c|grep bash
  bash                 3.2.9-11           OK
  ~ $

The 'test -s "$file"' in the test run above should return 0.
