Just as we had predicted.

Blame Windows - this is Microsoft's default behavior, over which cygwin
has no control.  When loading an .exe that depends on a .dll at inception,
Windows rules are obeyed (in which the directory of the .exe is prepended
to the PATH, and where a modal popup box appears if the dependency cannot
be satisfied).  Hence our warning that you should never have more than one
cygwin1.dll on your path, since most cygwin .exe's have a hard-coded
dependency on cygwin1.dll.
