The first time you build a freshly cloned repository, this is indeed so.

Perhaps related to the /bin vs. > /mingw/bin ordering you just mentioned. One thing I think could cause you trouble is that your Git is a 64-bit client, while your MSYS and Emacs are 32-bit binaries, and Emacs uses 32-bit MinGW DLLs. So if Emacs invokes Git (because you build inside a repository, so visiting versioned files automatically invokes Git), there could be some kind of conflict between 32-bit DLLs already loaded and 64-bit executables that try to use them, or with 64-bit MSYS2 that comes with the latest Git ports and your 32-bit MSYS used to run the build. So I would first try removing the Git's cmd directory from your MSYS Bash's PATH.
