This seems to be the same problem as reported in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-02/msg00020.html

Entered into bugzilla as http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9848

The only suggestion I have for debugging is that it might be informative to 
use wireshark to look at the X protocol exchanges between the simple client 
and server test case, comparing the AIX/Cygwin and AIX/Linux cases and see if 
there are differences which explain the difference in behaviour?
