bug#29872: 26.0.90; `man' output encoding, hyphen chars

[Drew Adams]

1. emacs -Q
2. load library cygwin-mount.el
3. load library setup-cygwin.el
4. M-x man RET find RET

The two libraries are on Emacs Wiki:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs?action=elisp-area;context=0

The `man' output has (presumably) end-of-line hyphens that are not shown
as such, perhaps because of the buffer encoding.  This is what is
present, for example:

 This  manual page documents the GNU version of find.  GNU find searches
 the directory tree rooted at each given file  name  by  evaluating  the
 given  expression  from left to right, according to the rules of preceâ€
 dence (see section OPERATORS), until the outcome  is  known  (the  left

(`report-emacs-bug' would not let me send this message with the above
text, so I've removed the character at the end of the line (after `â€'),
which is displayed as \220 (but a single character), so I could send the
msg.)

After "prece" there are these characters (from `C-u C-x ='):

LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX
EURO SIGN
3fff90 (displayed as \220)

The charset is apparently windows-1252 (from `C-u C-x =').

Is this an Emacs bug, or is something different needed in, say,
setup-cygwin.el?  Currently, this code is in that library:

;;; Use Unix-style line endings.

              (coding-system-change-eol-conversion
                (default-value 'buffer-file-coding-system)
                'unix))
and this:

(setq process-coding-system-alist
      (cons '("bash" . (raw-text-dos . raw-text-unix))
             process-coding-system-alist))

I do not see this problem prior to this pretest build (e.g. with Emacs
24.5 or 25.3.1).  I do see the problem also with this Emacs 27 build:
