I don't think that too many Windows users will start GnuCash (or any other 
application for that matter) from within mingw.
The goal is to run GnuCash on a normal Windows system (without mingw) anyway.

I guess most Windows users don't even know what to do with the normal command 
line shell let alone using the shell of mingw.

So I think this behaviour of the function is tolerable.
