Pawel,
your cases are the same. I had same result on W7 64
It seems depending on shortcut length, when multiple of 16:

marco AT MARCOATZERI ~
$ mkshortcut -n '1234567890123456' '/e/cygwin/e'
Aborted (core dumped)

marco AT MARCOATZERI ~
$ mkshortcut -n '12345678901234567890123456789012' '/e/cygwin/e'
Aborted (core dumped)

a longer or shorter name works.

marco AT MARCOATZERI ~
$ mkshortcut -n '123456789012345678901234567890123' '/e/cygwin/e'

Regards
Marco
