WX64LG is the local machine, right?  If you're in a domain, the Cygwin
name should have been "WX64LG+cyg_server", not just "cyg_server".

That's correct.  The user account from Cygwin's point of view is
"WX64LG+cyg_server".  Try this:

  $ getent passwd WX64LG+cyg_server

The bug is in csih_select_privileged_username(), apparently.  In a
domain environment, it should have prepended the machine name to the
"cyg_server" user name.

I'll try to come up with a fix asap.
