Setting HOME is the job of the login process (login/sshd, etc.) No shell sets HOME by itself even if it's started as login shell. Worst case is tcsh, which doesn't even start if HOME isn't set. The workaround to set it in /etc/profile does fortunately work for bash. The other solution (if you think /etc/profile is too ugly) would be to set HOME in cygwin.bat if it isn't already set.
