I think I've found the problem: /usr/share/emacs/21.2/etc/DOC-21.2.1
seems to be missing a few lines (at line 2406, right before
Finvocation-name, to be precise).
I compared the DOC file in Cygwin to the one in a recent Redhat distro,
and found a difference at that location (Redhat's includes docstrings
for query-fontset etc.).
And, lo and behold, with the DOC-21.2.1 file from Redhat,
emacs-X11-21.2-11 works just fine! (unfortunately, emacs-nox becomes
slightly broken in the process, though :-( ).
In other words, it seems that "emacs without X" needs a different DOC
file from "emacs with X", so it would seem that the correct DOC file
needs to be included in the emacs-X11 package.
Hope this helps,
/dan
