Is this a bug or missing feature?
It's not implemented (and never will be).

Sorry, but then why do the mirrors exist in http://cygwin.com/mirrors.txt ? And why does setup show them and you can select them if you cannot choose them as source? This makes no sense!
Many things about setup.exe make no sense. Since I took over maintainership of setup.exe a few months ago, I'm slowly working on making it more sensible.
Is the only solution that I use rsync utility to synchronize with such a mirror and install from local directory ?
If you absolutely must use rsync, then yes.
