mintty *doesn't* run "bash -l" by default.  The default shortcut to 
mintty created by setup.exe *asks* mintty to do that by passing mintty 
the '-' parameter.

Did you create your own mintty shortcut?  If so, the Target line in the 
shortcut properties should read:

     C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -

(Assuming Cygwin is in c:\cygwin.)

If you're still using the default shortcut, check that its Target line 
is correct.  If it just says "C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe" you'll get the 
exact effect you've reported.
