Here is a simplistic process to reproduce the xman failure.

Perform a fresh installation by running setup and select the following 
from 'Category' view:

Base: (default selections)
Utils:
 Â Â Â  xman 1.1.5-1
X11:
 Â Â Â  xorg-server 1.20.5-3
 Â Â Â  xterm 348-1
 Â Â Â  xwin-xdg-menu 20170312-1
 Â Â Â  xinit 1.4.1-1

Click 'Next' to progress through setup.
Allow dependencies to auto-resolve and accept.
When prompted, select the Add icons to Desktop & Start Menu check boxes.

Once setup completes:
Launch the 'XWin Server' from the Windows start menu (Cygwin-X).
Then launch an xterm from the XDG Menu.

Launch 'xman' from the xterm session.

 Â Â Â  $ xman
 Â Â Â  *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated

So, since it works for some, what packages are missing in this case?

Kind regards,
Ken
