I just did an upgrade too (and got the latest mintty) and the shortcut 
that had been created during an earlier installation was now removed. 
Just starting mintty directly results in an ugly looking terminal as you 
say.
I looked at another computer that I hadn't upgraded that still had the 
mintty shortcut and there I noticed that target was:
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -
(notice the - at the end)
So I added a - to my target on my manually created shortcut and now 
mintty looks like it should when I start it.
