Environment variable problem

I set an environment variable in /etc/profile.d/env.sh that is loaded when
Cygwin starts, like the following:
export M2_HOME=d\:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1
When it is echoed, it shows the value correctly.
$ echo $M2_HOME
d:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1
However, if I suffix it with "/bin", it becomes the following:
$ echo $M2_HOME/bin
/binava/apache-maven-2.2.1
If I run the export statement inline, then there is no problem.
$ export M2_HOME=d\:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1
$ echo $M2_HOME
d:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1
$ echo $M2_HOME/bin
d:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1/bin
Any idea?
