I'm still on vacation but had a chance to look at this. The problem is 
the Cygwin-specific code in 
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/luatex/luaotfload/otfl-font-nms.lua.orig 
otfl-font-nms.lua. If you remove that code (see the attached patch) and 
regenerate ~/.cache/texmf/luatex-cache/generic/names/otfl-names.lua, I 
think the problem will be solved.
