Are you sure you have $IFS set correctly?  Bash does word splitting of ``
output according to the current contents of $IFS, which should normally be
space-tab-newline unless you want to split on different characters.
Whereas the version that avoids `` altogether does not end up using $IFS.

Which means I'm starting to think this problem is not cygwin-specific.
