This turned out to be a bug in expand-file-name triggered by the project 
file searching code in rails.el.

A simple way to reproduce the bug was:

(expand-file-name "//server/path/../../../")

which caused an assertion failure on Windows.

I have checked in a fix.

Why, Jason?  This problem is specific to Cygwin, UNC file names work
in the native w32 build.

If we want to distinguish between Cygwin and the rest of Posix
platforms, I suggest to create a new category "cygwin" and assign this
bug to it.
