It's a bug.  Funny that this has never been reported before.

It shouldn't matter anymore, though, because mkpasswd is changing
significantly with 1.7.33.  I would suggest to take a look into the
current test release 1.7.33-0.3.  The mkpasswd command will produce
the same uid and gid values as the values generated by the Cygwin
DLL in "db" mode to avoid collisions.
