Ok, I confirm there is a bug.  Please file a bug report.  The bug is in 
the MSYS runtime and only occurs if there is a single character path as 
the first path in PATH.

You have to turn off the features that keep c:/windows/system32 sane or 
find all copies of the windows find and remove them.  Somewhere on your 
drive is a version of windows as it has been installed and possibly 
versions as it has been patched.  However, you shouldn't need to remove 
the windows find as long as you keep the /bin directory before all 
other directories.
