Sounds like cygwin's base-files should be updated to guard
cygwin-specific .profile contents to only occur when uname says it is
running on cygwin.  I'm sure the maintainer would love patches...

You can guard that with something as simple as:

case $(uname) in
  CYGWIN*) export LANG=3D$(locale -uU) ;;
esac

(hmm, the moment you also share the .profile with a Solaris box, you'd
have to use `` instead of $(), but that's another story)
