The post-install script does not care as mkshortcut uses POSIX paths.
Could you please check your paths with:
$ which -a mkshortcut
/usr/bin/mkshortcut
$ cygcheck mkshortcut
Found: C:\...\cygwin64\bin\mkshortcut.exe

Please try:
$ sh --version
GNU bash, version 4.4.12(3)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin)
...
Could you please try rerunning the p-i script under sh -vx and post the output,
as I can not see any way to rearrange the inputs and outputs to get that result,
unless read or mkshortcut are damaged!
