0x250000 is a low address for a cygwin dll.
It is likely that some other program is occupying the expected space

looks on "rebase -si" space for collisions (marked by *)
and look on /proc/process_id/maps

using the process id of your xterm or bash to identify the squatter

After studying, searching, and a leap of faith, I presume now that what's meant is the whole *cygwin* system and that my expensively purchased programs won't be updated, improved, or otherwise hacked... right?

rebaseall is only working on cygwin files. ( whole cygwin  ;-) )
It works on all the files listed in /etc/setup/*.lst.gz
If you have additional own built dll's you need to use the
rebaseall -T switch
