I think I've make little progress in this regard: I compared
environment variables from an original cmd.exe and that of cmd.exe
invoked from cygwin bash. I noticed that, for the one invoked from
cygwin, the %Path% variable had cygwin\bin directories before all
Windows paths. After I removed the cygwin\bin directories, the same
utility seem to work fine (as of now). How can I prevent cygwin\bin
directories occupying at the beginning of %path%?

Also, I created a screen cast of running cmd.exe from bash. Please
take a look and see if it's a known issue or is something that any of
you had previously come across (full-screen view is preferable)
