By default, bash only sees newline characters as the EOL markers.  The
carriage return character of the Windows line ending is treated the same
as any other character on the command line, so it becomes part of the
command.  In this case, it is appended to the value of the environment
variable.

Setting the SHELLOPT environment variable *in Windows* to igncr will
make bash behave as you expect.  Having the script on a text mount will
also work.  The generally considered best way is to ensure that the
script simply has Unix line endings.
