Still, I can't reproduce it.  I just ran this with the latest Cygwin
from CVS and it works fine for me, multiple times, every time removing
the copied files from the former run.

I ran the command the same way you did, I guess, just using different
paths for the source and destination directories:

  rsync --recursive \
        --human-readable \
	--delete \
	--times \
	--ignore-errors \
	--stats \
	--progress \
	-v -v \
	~/tmp/rsync ~/tmp/rsync-tgt

I tried it 6 times in a row, every time erasing the destination files.
Works fine for me.
