That could be. I was running as a regular user under UAC, installing for
"All Users" -- but I did allow the elevation.

No, same behavior. So whatever it is, it's not caused by your patch.

Normally I do not allow to create shortcuts (neither in the Start Menu
onr the Desktop) -- which is why I haven't seen this behavior before. I
manage my shortcuts manually using a "Toolbar Folder" added to my
QuickLaunch area: one for cygwin-1.5, and one for cygwin-1.7.
