Hmm, so this message doesn't show up when you do "bash --login" from a
bash shell? Interesting...
Try 'bash --login -i -c "echo Hi"'. If that produces the "missing
kpsexpand" error, pipe both stdout and stderr of that command through
"grep kpsexpand" (i.e.,
bash --login -i -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | grep kpsexpand
). If not, see what's different in the way your "cygwin.bat" invokes
bash.

Umm, I meant
bash --login -x -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | less
Sorry if this was unclear.

Reinstall it and see if you still get the error. I have a feeling your
postinstall scripts didn't run properly because of the screwed-up mounts.
In fact, run
find /etc/postinstall -name \*.done | sed 's/\.done$//' | xargs cygcheck -f | uniq
Those are the packages that will likely benefit from a reinstall in your
case.
HTH,
Igor
