That's the right procedure. First time you *must* do a bootstrap.

Is not broken, it's simply not supported, because most Windows users
don't have the tools to build info files. You can get a working makeinfo
from http://www.simtel.net/pub/djgpp/v2gnu/ (get txi42b.zip) and
manually build the info files (that's what I do). If you get make errors
try taking Cygwin bin directory from the PATH.
(Lack of support for building info files hasn't been a problem till now
because prebuilt binaries come with prebuilt info files too.)

There are some interactions between the libraries (libtiff.dll needs
libjpeg.dll, etc.), and not all releases work well togheter. I'm using:
libjpeg-6b (includes librle.dll)
libpng-1.2.4-1
libungif-4.1.0b1
tiff-3.5.7
xpm-3.4k-1
zlib-1.1.4
(from GnuWin32) which seem to be nice with each other.

When that happened to me, it was the result of a mismatch between the
libraries (a libjpeg.dll that couldn't find the corresponding librle.dll).

That's probably a bug. Were you compiling Emacs with optimizations?
Currently, images work well for me with MSVC 6.0 and --no-opt, but I get
crashes with TIFF and PNG files when optimization is enabled.
Don't forget that image support on Windows is still experimental. Any
information you can gather about the crashes could be useful.
