The snippet of code you quoted above belongs to an old version of
base-files.
With your update, a new base-files package should have been installed.
Please check this with:

$ cygcheck -c base-files

It should report version 4.0-6.
The fact that /etc/profile wasn't automatically updated shows that you
manually modified it.
Please check if the new version (find it at /etc/defaults/etc/profile)
solves the problem for you. If it does, you can add your
customizations to it afterwards.
Ensure you backup your files before and please report back if you
succeeded.
