Try running rsync -vvv and capturing the output (and be prepared 
for a LOT of debugging info).  Also try just a *NIX-to-*NIX 
rsync and see if it exhibits the same behavior.

My first instinct would be to blame cygwin.  I know some people 
need a UNIX-like environment within Windoze, but I personally 
spit upon cygwin. ;)  There's some (largely unavoidable) 
deficiencies in the cygwin environment that UNIX-tailored apps 
often have to work around.
