Hi there. I'm using

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 sith 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin

and

$ cygcheck -c time bash
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
bash                 3.2.48-21      OK
time                  1.7-2          OK


testing your example gives me

$ eval foo=3Dbar time true
