Definitely installed all latest packages.

$ cygcheck -cd | grep emacs
emacs                       24.3-3
emacs-w32                   24.3-3
emacs-X11                   24.3-3

One thing to note, in case it might explain things. I install under a
separate user to the one that I run Cygwin apps under. Running under my
personal user I will not have permissions to write to /usr, /etc,
etc... (pardon thepun). Unless I explicitly elevate my privilege, which
I avoid unless necessary.

I mention only in that if a file somehow managed not to be world
readable then running under my user I may not be able to read it. And 
the off chance that the icon is obtained from such a file.
