Then this is an issue in how cygwin programs handle their arguments when
invoked from a native windows program, and/or a factor of the (weird)
quoting rules in use by the Windows native command shell (which are NOT
AT ALL like normal POSIX shell quoting rules), and nothing to do with
upstream grep. You'll probably have better results posting your question
on the cygwin mailing list.

As such, I'm taking the liberty to close this in the upstream database,
as there's nothing we can do here to change behavior.
