The behavior of "bash --login -i" seems to vary depending on whether

inconsistent with the description man bash, and seems to be a bug.
Can anyone confirm (or "anti-confirm") this behavior?:
Details:
When bash is started using the Cygwin shortcut (which runs cygwin.bat,
which executes "bash --login -i"), bash reads files /etc/profile and
~/.bash_profile. (Running "bash --login -i" from an interactive
"cmd" shell does the same.)
However, when in that first bash process, another bash is started with
that same "bash --login -i" command, bash does _not_ read /etc/profile.
Works for me.
