This works! I've added these patches (pulled from pu) to my tree and rebuilt. 
The current results on Cygwin...

diff --git a/foo b/foo
^Some strange test^^

So, for posterity, git-mv cannot rename the offending file in the index, but the 
file can be removed, and its contents piped into a file of non-offending name, 
so a reasonable solution for this case exists.

Many thanks to all, especially to Junio for actually creating the fix.
