Not a recent bug but annoying anyway
It seems the post-install script is not considering that the
installation can be in a disk different from C: , properly
in this case D:
The post-install script does not care as mkshortcut uses POSIX paths.
Could you please check your paths with:
$ which -a mkshortcut
/usr/bin/mkshortcut
$ cygcheck mkshortcut

Please try:

Could you please try rerunning the p-i script under sh -vx and post the output,
as I can not see any way to rearrange the inputs and outputs to get that result,
unless read or mkshortcut are damaged!
