better to test from scratch in an empty directory, to avoid some
remainder that could false your test.

as bash belongs to Base category and as in Base there are 29 packages
both your results look wrong as you need at least 29 packages.

$ grep "category:"  setup.ini |grep Base |wc -l
  29

I see at least an additional one:
  cygutils(Base) -> libpopt0(obsolete) -> popt(Libs)
likely there are few mores, but 56 seems too much.
