The post-install script does not care as mkshortcut uses POSIX paths.
Could you please check your paths with:

	$ which -a mkshortcut
	/usr/bin/mkshortcut
	$ cygcheck mkshortcut
	Found: C:\...\cygwin64\bin\mkshortcut.exe
	C:\...\cygwin64\bin\mkshortcut.exe

Please try:

	$ sh --version
	GNU bash, version 4.4.12(3)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin)
	...

Could you please try rerunning the p-i script under sh -vx and post the output, 
as I can not see any way to rearrange the inputs and outputs to get that result, 
unless read or mkshortcut are damaged!

$ ll "$(cygpath -A -P -U)"/Cygwin*
