I've similar experience, but I believe even stranger one. After 
installing 1.3.19, I saw the message about shared version mismatch, but 
the numbers were different, unfortunately I didn't write them down:-(. I 
made sure that I have really only one cygwin1.dll in the system. I also 
used sysinternals HandleEx tools to check that no running process has 
loaded cygwin1.dll library. The error was still here.

Finally, I tried 'strace bash.exe' -> the error magically disappeared 
and then I could run everything normally.

This is no big deal for me, just wanted to let you know.
