I don't think that this is possible. The POSIX emulation in MSYS (or bash,
dunno) always converts to POSIX style:
> bash -c "cd c:/temp; PWD=$(pwd -W); echo $PWD; cd $PWD; pwd; echo $PWD"
c:/temp
/c/temp
/c/temp
That is, even if I use Windows style path to chdir around, the result is
POSIX style.

Doing that is certainly not something that I would be prepared to do just
to make the bash prompt work right ;-) And the added maintainance burden
incurred by the status quo is certainly much cheaper than yet another fork
of MSYS and/or bash.
