Strange Cygwin 1.1.1 mv Behavior

After upgrading from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1, I started to experience problems
using relative pathnames with mv when in my home directory:
$ pwd
/home/jt
$ ls .foo
.foo
$ mv .foo .foo2
mv: cannot move `.foo' to `.foo2': No such file or directory
But, the following using absolute pathnames works:
$ ls ~/.foo
/home/jt/.foo
$ mv ~/.foo ~/.foo2
$ ls ~/.foo2
/home/jt/.foo2
And, so does using relative pathnames with mv in a directory other than
my home directory:
$ pwd
/tmp
$ ls .foo
.foo
$ mv .foo .foo2
$ ls .foo2
.foo2
Note that the first case above works just fine under 1.1.0.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jason
