Sounds like your installation lost track of where $HOME should be set to,
so it is not picking up any of your setup files, explaining the follow-on
behavior changes.

Rebooting won't rerun postinstall scripts. It is easiest to explicitly
rerun setup.exe and reinstall the packages (such as bash) that had botched
postinstall runs. If, after that, you still have problems, the attached
output of cygcheck -svr is essential to us helping you.

Actually, it would be an issue. Bash can't upgrade itself while bash is
running, which makes all postinstall scripts suspect. Upgrades work best
when all cygwin processes are halted.

You aren't quite painting an accurate picture - you upgraded more than
just bash; you also picked up an upgrade to cygwin.
