It's not a bug, it's how Cygwin works.
If you want to have Cygwin in your system PATH, you'll have to, either
a) tolerate the duplicated entries in session's $PATH, or
b) do something to fix it.

I use this scriptlet:

PATH="$( tr ":" "\\n" <<<"$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:$PATH" | sed -Ee "1,4b; \\#Subversion|$HOME|^(/usr(/local)?)?/bin\$#d;" | paste -sd:)" export PATH

(Essentially, I push 4 predefined paths on top of the stack, then filter out
the rest of the stack by some known patterns.)
