Are you sure you didn't forget the `-' at the end of the target? That's what tells mintty to start your shell as a login shell, in which case the commands in /etc/profile should get executed. One of the commands in the default /etc/profile adds /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin to PATH. Have you modified /etc/profile?
