Yeah, this is a bit unfortunate.

Ideally we'd be remembering the vendor (along with other information we 
currently guess) for installed packages.

I'm not sure about fixing it this way, though, as it will mean that 
normally (when the repo label is 'cygwin') all upgraded packages will be 
shown as vendorchanged in the full log (or when using -v)

How about the attached, which should have the same effect?
