If it had worked, I wouldn't even have bothered to ask here :-)

Yes, the above is one of the solution that I suggested. Ask them to recognize
the Cygwin community.
But a better way would be to resolve it within Cygwin.
By default, any application that is not in cygwin may be considered as
Windows native application (WNA). So, when you launch WNAs,
cygwin can convert the unix style directory to DOS style.  After the 
conversion,
pass the converted MS-DOS style path to the WNA.
I don't know why you think that this is so impossible or so difficult.
It is just  putting the gvim's functionality into Cygwin.

If an application that is not WNA and not in Cygwin, cygwin may provide
some facility to register those applications. Maybe any application that
uses cygwin.dll may be considered as non-WNAs.
