If you look at the Cygwin.bat file you have this line
bash --login -i
Starting Cygwin this way yields expected results
$ cat ~/foo.sh
cat -v <<< ~
$ ~/foo.sh
/home/Steven
However if you change the line in Cygwin.bat to this
bash -i
it produces unexpected results
$ ~/foo.sh
/home/Steve0^G

Update, it only produces this output if I enter "~/foo.sh" using tab completion.
That is to say, "~/f" + TAB. If I manually enter each character, it works as
expected.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this. I guess we need more info if you're still
having the problem. See the problem reporting guidelines at the link below.

So I tried this again, more in depth
- Delete C:\cygwin folder
- Fresh download of setup-x86 and x86_64
configuration and results
setup-x86 http://box-soft.com /home/Steve0^G
setup-x86_64 http://box-soft.com /home/SteveM-^P-
setup-x86 http://cygwin.osuosl.org /home/Steve0^G
setup-x86_64 http://cygwin.osuosl.org /home/SteveM-^P-
Then I downloaded Windows 7 Ultimate x86 English
http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-59463.iso
and loaded it into VirtualBox
configuration and result
setup-x86 http://box-soft.com /home/Steve`^F

After running
cygcheck -s -v -r
on both a "good" and "bad" Cygwin.bat I ran a "git diff" and noticed this
+PS1 = '\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ '
So I tried it and that looks to be the issue. However it doesnt make much sense
because even with "bad" Cygwin.bat PS1 seems to be already defined
$ echo "$PS1"
\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$
$ ~/foo.sh
/home/Steve0^G
$ export PS1='\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$ '
$ ~/foo.sh
/home/Steven

To answer my own question, PS1 is already defined, but not exported. This is
because the export happens in /etc/profile, which is called with the "--login"
option. Example
$ ~/foo.sh
/home/Steve0^G
$ export PS1
$ ~/foo.sh
/home/Steven

My PS1 is also set. I'm wondering why it doesn't show up in your output
above though. Perhaps it's time to add 'set -x' to your ~/.bash_profile
and ~/.bashrc to see what gets invoked on your end.
