Apparently, you're just not aware of the differences between these two
systems.  Look at '/etc/defaults/etc/profile' for a description of how 
Cygwin determines what your home directory is.  That should provide some
insight.  If it's just plain set incorrectly in your '/etc/passwd' file, 
rerun 'mkpasswd' as specified in '/etc/postinstall/passwd-grp.sh.done' 
but add the '-p' flag followed by '/home/xpto'.  'man mkpasswd' provides
the full details.

There.  Done. :-)
