I think the difference is where you select the checkbox. There's one in 
Compatibility->Privilege Level->Run as admin, and another in 
Shortcut->Advanced->Run as admin. The compatibility one is telling 
windows that to execute mintty correctly it needs admin privileges, so 
it always runs mintty this way. The latter is the one that just affects 
the shortcut.

Glad you got to the bottom of this in the end.
