Apples/oranges.  I'm talking about the passwd entry and creating
passwd entry requires some kind of reproducability.  The environment
of the current user has nothing to do with it.  I hope
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-02/msg00425.html makes that clear.

Of course.  All shells do that.  They expect HOME to have a useful value
because HOME is usually set by the login process before the shell is
started.  And the login process, if there is any, fetches HOME from the
account DB.
