I had a look into this and even rearranged the behaviour when --help output is requested... However, I'm mildly sure this behaviour didn't change in the last couple of years. The reason is that setup is not a console application but a GUI application. When running a GUI application from CMD, CMD will detach. Of course, when --help output is requested, setup calls AllocConsole, but that's too late. This does not occur in a Cygwin shell becasue Cygwin always waits for process completion unless the process is sent to the background. I now made the latest setup 2.864 available as standard setup version on sourceware and removed the test releases.
