Yes.  I would not have submit it if I didn't.

It does.  You were mislead into an erroneous conclusion due to the limited
context provided by the patch.  Try the following:

static void
read_mount_table ()
{
  int istext;
  int issystem;
  root_dir = find_root_mount (&istext, &issystem);
  if (root_dir)
    {
      if (istext)
        root_text = IDC_ROOT_TEXT;
      else
        root_text = IDC_ROOT_BINARY;
      if (issystem)
        root_scope = IDC_ROOT_SYSTEM;
      else
        root_scope = IDC_ROOT_USER;
    }
  else
    {
      char windir[_MAX_PATH];
      GetWindowsDirectory (windir, sizeof (windir));
      windir[2] = 0;
      root_dir = concat (windir, "\\cygwin", 0);
      root_text = IDC_ROOT_BINARY;
      root_scope = (is_admin()) ? IDC_ROOT_SYSTEM : IDC_ROOT_USER;
    }
}
