Try "C-h l" (that's the letter ell, not the digit one), or "F1 l", and
you will see what keystrokes Emacs received from the OS.
Btw, is this in a windowed session or in a text terminal/xterm? If
the latter, perhaps your termcap/terminfo and/or $TERM are not set up
correctly: Emacs relies on them to interpret special keys like HOME
and END.

It never disappoints me, but maybe that's because I don't use Cygwin.
