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
