I'm no expert either, but I just became more familiar after packaging it for OpenCSW (just to build the git docs!). It's likely that your docbook dtds are fine but the xsl stylesheets are either missing or broken.

Try looking at the docbook stylesheets (xsl in particular) packages in your cygwin setup. There should be lines like:
