No, the backslash would be OK for the shell.  But you are not sending
that string to a shell (much less bash), you are sending it to a Win32
program.  Windows programs are not expecting any quoting in their
arguments (not even cmd-style quoting).  Write a shell wrapper around
each windows program that you are calling through your cygwinized
Emacs...

Achim.
