After a couple of hours of confused and increasingly frustrated debugging with .Emacs and system PATH, I think I sort of fixed the issue. I went into control panel and added the ezwinports\bin path to it. I added it as the first path name. Hopefully, there aren't any windows level component that has similar names to what is there in the bin directory, both for exes and DLLs. Second, the ezwinport gnutls DLLs don't seem to work when I launched Gnus(it complained of 256 bits and certificate errors of some sort). I simply renamed them and I think cygwin gnutls is handling it now as gnus downloads rss and mails without any issues again. [snipped 7 lines] > Or some other similar snafu.

To summarise, your premise was right; adding ezwinports\bin to system PATH fixed the issue. I think. I probably have to remove the exec-path and getenv PATH cruft from my .Emacs to reduce future errors but for now, all images are rendering. sivaram --
