Sorry, it's probably my misunderstanding.

So you are saying that MSYS holds two separate environment variables,
one called "temp", the other "TEMP"? If so, what do native Windows
programs started from such a shell get in their environment? The
upper-case one? the first one in the order? both? something else?

I expect this to break quite a few legitimate use cases.
