In cygwin build, file-attributes/directory-files-and-attributes with
id-format non-nil currently return UIDs/GIDs as singlebyte.

We expect it to be multibyte as in MinGW build.

What is your value of locale-coding-system?  If it's nil, then your
problem is likely outside Emacs: look at your LC_* and LANG variables
to make sure they are set up correctly.

My locale-coding-system was nil.
Changing it to 'utf-8' makes IDs multibytes, thank you.

And all environment variables you mentioned were all nil.

When I run emacs from cygwin bash shell, which sets LANG to 'C.UTF-8'
and sets no LC_*, both IDs are made multibytes.

I'm running Emacs directly invoking runemacs througn BAT script.
I should have take some more appropriate way.

Anyway, sorry for annoyance.

runemacs is supposed to be used only for the native Emacs build (which
determines its locale-coding-system by other means than looking at the
environment variables).  I think the Cygwin build, like any other
Posix build, requires the environment variables be set if you want to
be able to handle non-ASCII user/group names.  So you need to invoke
it from Bash, or else set these variables in the global Windows
environment.

Thanks to all.  Since this doesn't appear to be an Emacs bug I'm closing 
the report.
