No.

That was the point of testing with a complete re-install... which had the same
result.

Hint: A Windows shortcut with the following properties

C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c "at $(date +%H):$(($(date +%M) + 1)) /interactive
'c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe' --login -i; secs=$((60 - $(date +%S))); while [ $secs
-ne 0 ]; do echo -ne 'Please wait '$secs' seconds for the shell \r'; sleep 1;
secs=$(($secs - 1)); done"

and don't forget to return /var/empty to its original state before doing any
more testing.
