It doesn't normally print the word "echo", though. There's something else
going on here that's repeating the input line before executing it.

I can.
Benoit, you have CYGWIN=tty set in your environment.
Don't try and launch win32 native programs (e.g., cmd.exe) from a cygwin
console using CYGWIN=tty, as the win32 native program gets very seriously
confused to find its stdin and stdout connected to pipes instead of to a
console.
