I am seeing an mcrypt problem with short plaintext strings.
I don't have a Linux box to compare results, so I don't
know if this is an upstream or a Cygwin issue.
$ mcrypt --version
Mcrypt v.2.6.8 (i686-pc-cygwin)

Longer strings seem to work:
$ echo abcdef | mcrypt -q -k xyz | mcrypt -dq -k xyz
abcdef
$
But shorter ones not so much:
$ echo abcde | mcrypt -q -k xyz | mcrypt -dq -k xyz

The commands you show work correctly with older version of the software.
Specifically, I've tried this:
mcrypt-2.6.7-1.tar.bz2
libmcrypt4-2.5.8-1.tar.bz2
libmcrypt-2.5.8-1.tar.bz2
Although on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS latest versions of mcrypt and libmcrypts
work with these two commands.
