So why do you need to set it to ja_JP.Shift_JIS if ja_JP.CP932 and
ja_JP.SJIS do the same thing?

I'm not convinced that adding Shift_JIS to Cygwin as another alias for
CP932 is a good idea, because they aren't actually the same, e.g.
iconv treats them as different charsets. The SJIS alias is dodgy
enough already.
