It's because Cygwin use shebang line. If you remove this line from bzr
script then Cygwin won't try to launch this file. Furthermore, this
shebang has no effect for windows python.

No, I don't think so.
I think, if you want work on Cygwin with windows-based bzr, then
standalone bzr.exe will help you without any twist with bzr[.py|bat|sh]
scripts.
