I see virtually the same problem, but from within the shell buffer using 
XEmacs.  I don't see it with the Cygwin console window (started from the Cygwin 
icon on my desktop).

The commands that are listed as working by Ramon(echo, pwd, cd) are "shell 
builtin commands".

The problem started yesterday, after I used the Cygwin setup executable on my 
Windows XP Home laptop to update Cygwin.  Prior to that I didn't have this 
problem.

The version of XEmacs is 

XEmacs 21.4 (patch 8) "Honest Recruiter (Windows [3])" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32)
