That just results in:

    HOMEDRIVE=C:
    HOMEPATH=\Users\<myuid>

I detailed this in another reply, but this would fit one of those checks,
which should result in "C:\Users\<myuid>", which is my Windows home
directory, which does exist.  I don't want it to use this, but it's not
anyway.  It's resulting in "/" as my Cygwin home.
