screen 4.0.3-5 does not respect $SHELL

Hello.
I'm experiencing the following issue.
Initially SHELL=/bin/bash when using a link in start menu.From initial bash prompt, i start screen, fresh session. There all kinds of bash misbehavior occur, including ~/.bashrc having no effect. Apparent reason for that is that $SHELL becomes /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash within screen.
A workaround is to start screen asscreen -s /bin/bashor have shell specified in .screenrc. Then bash works as expected. That screen does not respect $SHELL seems to be a bug though.
Thanks to jturney from #cygwin for helping me pinpoint the problem.
