While you can multiple installations you cannot mix the environments.
You did not copy mintty so you started it in one instance and then
went to another instance which will cause a clash of resources.

Looking at the list of DLL you copied you may still be seeing a
conflict with which DLL is in use.  Do you see a hang if you remain in
usr/bin and not changing directories to your copied files?
