Have you tried manually executing /etc/postinstall/libglade2.0.sh?
It looks like a simple script.
The manpage states that error code=3 is due to xmlcatalog failing to add an entry to the catalog.
This is what happens in Linux when you issue the command, and most probably, also the expected output in cygwin:

# xmlcatalog -v --noout --add "system" \
  "http://glade.gnome.org/glade-2.0.dtd" \
  /usr/share/xml/libglade/glade-2.0.dtd /etc/xml/catalog

Free catalog entry http://glade.gnome.org/glade-2.0.dtd
Free catalog entry /etc/xml/catalog

Failing that, you can also try to run xmlcatalog with the -v flag, to see if that spots the error.
If you finally succeed, don't forget to rename libglade2.0.sh to libglade2.0.sh.done.
