I spent many hours trying to find the cause of these effects. The suggested documentation addition is attached. Here's another idea. Since you're the one having the problem and being able to reproduce it, why don't you fix the cyglsa-config script instead to recognize this situation and handle it gracefully? That would be much more helpful than a longish paragraph explaining what could go wrong if it goes wrong.
