I can't reproduce this problem.

Per your cygcheck output the USERDOMAIN is AD1, but the passwd
entry shows U-EMEA\wg. How does that happen?

Are you sure /etc/passwd is really correct?

What do you mean by "HOSTNAME missing"? The environment variable?

So your hostname is the same as the username? Hmm. I wonder if that's
the problem. Back in NT4 days it was no problem to create a local
username identical to the hostname but it goes all trouble. That's why
this is disallowed in Windows 2000 and later, which just refuse to
create such a username. Of course Windows can't do the same check for
domain accounts.
[...time passes...]
Hmm, no. I created a domain account using the same username as the name
of one of my XP client machines. Then I logged in to that machine using
the new account and started the first Cygwin shell:

I have no idea why this happens for you. Some debugging will be necessary.
Starting the first bash from strace might give a clue.
