Actually, I found a way to make it work somehow, namely by passing "-engine
1" to XWin.exe, following a (21 year old) tip from here:

Thanks,
That first command does indeed cause a server window titled "Cygwin/X:0.0
to appear (an all white window).
Yeah, all white is an important clue here, since it means no rendering
is going on at all.
So, '-engine 1' is what I would recommend also.
(Why this is failing is still a bit mysterious. Perhaps you have some
exotic graphics card and/or buggy driver, which claims to support
DirectDraw but doesn't actually?)
The next command gives some info and warnings, and then 10 of these:
winShadowUpdateDDNL - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt () failed: 88760827
winShadowUpdateDDNL - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt failure message maximum (10)
reached. No more failure messages will be printed.
and nothing shows up.
