At the moment, it looks like I'm going to have to scrub Windows and re-install it.
I suppose before that, I can try installing from our stable mirror. Perhaps the Cygwin on the mirror site is badly buggy (despite all MD5 checksums being correct).
Right now I'll try again, this time deleting both known keys, deleting all the download files, deleting the 300kb of installed Cygwin files,
rebooting, and starting again.
That didn't work, either. Same alert panel titled "mount" that says: "The operation completed successfully."
This happens at the 99% Cygwin Setup stage, Downloading. Progress bars look
to be about 80% for "Progress:", 99 or 100% for "Total:", and about 5%
for "Disk:".

However I do notice that someone else reported the same problem in 2001: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00884.html In summary:
Upgraded to latest setup today (2.125.2.10) and tried to update my already- existing installation. I have several systems with it installed, so I download the new packages first, then install from the local directory. Setup downloaded a few packages.
I tried to install onto a 50.3G FAT32 partition, with 28.5GB free. I tried to install from a 57.2G NTFS partition, with 23.4G free.
When I tried to install from the local directory, and after selecting the packages recommended, setup instantly puts up a dialog box labeled "mount" that says "The operation completed successfully". Behind that box is the "Cygwin Setup", and says "Installing...", The Package and Total indicator bars are blank, and the button says "Cancel". Clicking OK on the "mount" box terminates the installation, with nothing installed.
I tried a complete install to a different partition from the local disk; same thing, although the directory structure is created.

Try deleting setup.ini, and doing a download again. delete setup.log and setup.log.full Then do an 'install from Net'
post inline the resulting log files.
Also check the contents of /etc/setup/installed.db
