Problems with mintty jump list

I'm experimenting with the new mintty jump list feature, but I'm having 
trouble getting things working.

I've added the following to my .minttyrc:

     TaskCommands=default:-p 100,100;myserver:-p bottom -p right -o 
BackgroundColour=255,250,230 -e /usr/bin/ssh -C -Y -o 
ServerAliveInterval=60 myserver.example.org

I then started mintty with:

     mintty -o AppID=minttytest

The MinTTY window appeared, with a new icon on the task bar.  I pinned 
that icon, and closed this new window.
A right click on the taskbar icon now indeed shows two jump list 
entries: default and myserver.

But when I click on "default", a MinTTY window does open and runs my 
shell (which is zsh), but the environment is different than normal: for 
instance, /usr/bin is not in the $PATH and most commands are therefore 
not found.  (It's not running as a login shell?)

When I close all MinTTY windows, the icon remains on the taskbar (as it 
should), but the jump list entries are gone.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

  - Michael
