fish PATH problem


When I try to start fish directly from the Windows shell instead of from
bash, I get a boatload of errors, like this:

===
/usr/share/fish/functions/type.fish (line 14):  if not getopt -T > /dev/null
                                                              ^
in function 'type',
        called on standard input,
        with parameter list '-p command-not-found'

in function '__fish_command_not_found_setup',
        called on line 2 of file '/home/andrex/.config/fish/functions/fish_promp
t.fish',
        with parameter list 'cut'

in event handler: handler for generic event 'fish_command_not_found'

/usr/share/fish/functions/type.fish (line 26):          if not getopt $options $
argv >/dev/null
                                                                      ^
in function 'type',
        called on standard input,
        with parameter list '-p command-not-found'

in function '__fish_command_not_found_setup',
        called on line 2 of file '/home/andrex/.config/fish/functions/fish_promp
t.fish',
        with parameter list 'cut'

in event handler: handler for generic event 'fish_command_not_found'
===

and so on.  The problem seems to be that the PATH isn't set correctly.  PATH
doesn't include /bin or /usr/bin:

===
andrex@ > echo $PATH
fish: Unknown command '__fish_pwd'
Standard input: echo $_ " "; __fish_pwd
                             ^
in command substitution
        called on standard input,

/win/c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Microsoft Online Services /wi
n/c/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Microsoft Online Services
/win/c/Windows/system32 /win/c/Windows /win/c/Windows/System32/Wbem /win/c/Windo
ws/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0
===

If I edit /etc/fish/config.fish and add:

set PATH /bin /usr/bin $PATH

then fish starts normally.  Should something like this be added to
/etc/fish/config.fish or /usr/share/fish/config.fish?

This matters because if I want to make fish my default shell, I need it to start on
its own with a usable PATH set.

Thanks,
Andrew.
