Hello, I looked to the source code and I think that there are two problems.
One is that GRASS is using some unreliable method of determining if it is
running as Cygwin application or native one. OSGeo4W and stadalone are both
MS Windows native applications but in your case GRASS thinks that it is
Cygwin one.

The other problem is what caused GRASS to think this. It seems to me you
have CYGWIN variable in your environment. If you remove this variable,
GRASS should start. But note that I don't know why you have CYGWIN in your
environment (it might be needed by some other application).

See more details in the ticket I've created:

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2395

Thanks for trying OSGeo4W, standalone and 6.4 versions,
Vaclav
