When MSYS invokes a native Windows program (as opposed to an MSYS
program), it converts : into ; in PATH and similar environment
variables, and also in the argv[] array it passes to the native
program.

No, because 'echo' is a shell builtin. But if you invoke echo.exe
that is a native Windows program (e.g., compiled with MinGW, then yes,
it will print ";foo".

No (if it did, it would break too many shell scripts). The conversion
only happens in environment and in argv[] passed to native programs.
