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...
