It's unfortunate that win32 programs and Cygwin pseudoterminals do not
mix well, but there's not a lot of options to improve the situation,
short of using Cygwin python.

Personally, I prefer "mount -c /". Then you don't have to worry about
completion. But you could also just rename cygwin.bat to something else
so that "cyg" completes to cygdrive. I think the .ico is only used for
the shortcut so you can rename that too, just edit the shortcut.

I prefer \cygwin\bin in the system PATH anyway. And I too execute
rxvt.exe directly without any batch file.

I put these in .Xdefaults, which is still read by rxvt in non-X mode.
The equivlant command line that I use is
rxvt -geometry 130x60 -bg black -fg gray -cr white -fn "Lucida
Console-11" -sr -sl 5000 -j -cr white -tn rxvt -e bash -li
I like lucida console a lot but it doesn't have any of the line-drawing
characters which is a problem for some programs like mc or pstree.
(alias mc="mc -a" takes care of that though.)
