I believe that PuTTy is SSH2, while Cygwin is OpenSSH.
PuTTY using it's own format for SSH2 keys. As explained in help file.
That's another thing about these one offs - they invent there own ways of doing things making them different and not compatible with already established ways - i.e. the "not playing well together" part. (Though granted there is no standard for ssh2 keys, it doesn't necessarily mean they should go off an invent yet another way...)
