Please note that TESSDATA_PREFIX is present in both case.
So in the first case it should be a residual of a previous Tesseract 
(for windows) installation.


$ grep TESS cygcheck-with*
cygcheck-without-windows-environment-variable-set.out:TESSDATA_PREFIX = 
'C:\DEV\tesseract\Tesseract-OCR\'
cygcheck-without-windows-environment-variable-set.out:_TESSDATA_PREFIX = 
'C:\DEV\cygwin64\usr\share\tessdata'
cygcheck-with-windows-environment-variable-set.out:TESSDATA_PREFIX = 
'C:\DEV\cygwin64\usr\share\tessdata'

I suggest to look on your environment variables: user or system specific.
