In all other respects they are not obviously different
Sorry, my error. When using the drive, SHELL and HOME are set in the Windows environment before starting bash; on the stick, this is not the case. Testing confirms this difference in preamble to be the reason for the difference in behaviour reported. Sorry to waste your time.
