This message is odd. It looks like bash is looking for the full string
"/bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe 'd:\xxxx'" instead of just "/bin/xhere"

That command is only used when the terminal is cmd.

Does anyone know whether the presence of unicode change the globbing
rules of cmd/cygwin/bash?

Also, is the d:\ within quotes later in the command erronously
triggering the nodosfile warning? I'm not expecting to see it here.
