I believe I have seen that error when I had both the Cygwin 8.4 tcltk 
and the 'Grass' 8.3 tcltk installed. I think it is generally recommended 
that you use only the 'Grass' 8.3 tcltk available at:
http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/wingrass_xserver/

See:
http://www.ecosconsult.com.br/grass-list/arq/11045.html
for a better explanation.

With that said, I have never got NVIZ working under Cygwin. But I have 
not tried very hard because I remember reading that NVIZ did not work on 
Cygwin (although I forget where and when I read that). Is it possible? 
And if so, can anyone (Glynn) offer any pointers?
