Probably related, I have the following configuration in /etc/fstab :

>> none /mnt cygdrive noacl,binary,nouser,posix=0 0 0
>> W:/ /run ntfs acl,binary,nouser,posix=0 0 0
>> none /tmp usertemp binary,user,posix=0 0 0

(Eyes on the last entry - the user-specific /tmp.)

After some random reboot, the user's mount point is not %LocalAppData%\Temp,
as you would expect, but %SystemRoot%\Temp.

Stopping and restarting cygserver solves the issue for all subsequent logons.
