Ah. I'm seeing this exact same symptom (ignoring scripts of the same name
earlier in the PATH). I was working fine with 1.1.8, until today when I
tried to install 1.3.1, where this symptom suddenly appeared. I backed up
the "cygwin" module to 1.1.8, and it's back to normal again.

Cygwin *used* to do this. (The current Net release doesn't. I don't recall
when it was fixed.)
What version are you running?
