No, it cannot start external programs. The error message is

bash: /usr/bin/ls.exe: Invalid argument

All internal commands I have tested work. 
echo $PATH
shows the expected output. 
Setting VAR=
reverts to the normal behavior. 
Odd you cannot 
$ strace /bin/echo oops

to figure out where it fails.

System:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 KFIDEMUC110528 1.5.5(0.94/3/2) 2003-09-20 16:31 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin

$ echo $BASH_VERSION
2.05b.0(1)-release
