Is not an issue. Cygwin automatically mount /bin on /usr/bin

 From bash try
$ ls /bin
$ ls /usr/bin

you will see the exact same list.

About the 127 issue

$ cd /etc/postinstall
$ . ./gnome-icon-theme.sh
gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully.

$ echo $?
0

If it works, than you can

$ mv gnome-icon-theme.sh gnome-icon-theme.sh.done

same for the other
