OK, I got it installed. The procedure (inefficient but simple enough):
- copy the package files into my local package directory
- manually hack the corresponding setup.ini to point at the new files 
and their checksums
- run setup.exe to install from local directory
This isn't a permanent solution, because setup.ini gets clobbered every 
time I connect to a mirror, and setup will try to downgrade me back to 
the official python3 package.
Meanwhile, though, a cursory test suggests that everything is working:
$ python3
Python 3.3.2 (default, Oct 15 2013, 09:21:45)
[GCC 4.8.1] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> 3+5
8
 >>> {1:3, 4:5}
{1: 3, 4: 5}
The cygport files and patches I sent before remain unchanged and would 
probably make a good starting point for the python3 maintainer's next 
release, though the si_band issue has yet to be worked out in a good way.
