Sorry, I can't reproduce this on Vista or 7 either. Hippo looking happy.

Further to Chris's suggestion of trying Cygwin.ico, does it make a
difference if you copy the hippo elsewhere? Also, did the shortcut
work with mintty-0.5.4? (0.5.5 uses a different Windows function to
load the icon, but it's not immediately obvious why that might upset
the hippo.)
