lyx has problem with network directory names

I just tried to use the Cygwin port of lyx. It cannot cope with my
home directory, which appears as //fs-sj1-15/darnstein in Cygwin. This
is a network directory, obviously.
When lyx starts up, it emits a complaint
QSettings: error creating /fs-sj1-15/darnstein/.qt
When I try to save a lyx document to my home directory, lyx complains
when it presents its file browser dialog box. It says
Could not read directory /fs-sj1-15
It appears that lyx is trying to access the root directory (/). It
does not seem to know how to interpret the Windows syntax "//."
