The issue is that on a Unix system, you set your home dir by editing /etc/passwd. Leave the windoze environment alone.
I've set for a long time both the HOME windows environment, so other win32 native GNU applications are aware of it, and the /etc/password entry to the same value, properly /cygpathed/, with any problem.
