Hmm, no I wasn't remembering to do that; but even when I add that in, 
I'm still getting status 0 by hand:

$ CYGWINFORALL=-A sh -vx /etc/postinstall/mintty.sh
ALL=$CYGWINFORALL
+ ALL=-A
PROGS=$(/bin/cygpath -P $ALL)
/bin/cygpath -P $ALL
++ /bin/cygpath -P -A
+ PROGS='/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start Menu/Programs'
/bin/mkdir -p "$PROGS/Cygwin" &&
/bin/mkshortcut -P $ALL -n Cygwin/mintty -a - -d Terminal /bin/mintty &&
if [ "$ALL" ]; then
   /bin/chmod a+r "$PROGS/Cygwin/mintty.lnk"
fi
+ /bin/mkdir -p '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start 
Menu/Programs/Cygwin'
+ /bin/mkshortcut -P -A -n Cygwin/mintty -a - -d Terminal /bin/mintty
+ '[' -A ']'
+ /bin/chmod a+r '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Start 
Menu/Programs/Cygwin/mintty.lnk'

But this time, I looked in /var/log/setup.log.full, and got this hint:

2010/10/06 08:25:18 running: k:\cygwin-2\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile 
/etc/postinstall/mintty.sh
mkshortcut: Saving "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start 
Menu\Programs\K:\cygwin-2\Cygwin\mintty.lnk" failed; does the target 
directory exist?
2010/10/06 08:25:18 abnormal exit: exit code=3

Hmm - this looks like it could be a bug in mkshortcut.  Why is the '-n 
Cygwin/mintty' argument showing up as an absolute pathname appended to 
the tail of the start menu prefix?  Is it a bug that is dependent on the 
current working directory?
