It's intended behavior; the postinstall script was not written with
downgrades in mind (I may rethink that for my next release; but, it won't
help you, because downgrading to 3.1-8 or earlier will not have this patch).

What makes you think the current version is broken?  In my opinion, it
works just fine.  However, your discovery that using Windows paths instead
of POSIX paths makes cygwin revert to binary file opens on text mounts is
rather interesting.  I don't know if cygwin1.dll is at fault for that
strange behavior.  It may be possible for me to patch bash to always
convert script names to POSIX before opening them, so that you would get
the right mount behavior, but I'm not looking forward to such a hack.
