> In all other respects they are not obviously different 

Sorry, my error. When using the drive, SHELL and HOME are set in the 
Windows environment before starting bash; on the stick, this is not the 
case. Testing confirms this difference in preamble to be the reason for 
the difference in behaviour reported. Sorry to waste your time.
