You may be misunderstanding what the --download option is supposed to 
do.  I think it's supposed to cause setup to behave as though you had 
checked the "Download Without Installing" option in an interactive 
session.  So it should download whatever packages have been selected for 
installation.  In your first run, the only package selected was bash, 
which was already installed, so setup had nothing to do.  In the second 
run, I assume that you didn't already have csih installed, so setup 
downloaded it for later install.
