Is that by chance due to the fact that run.exe is compiled with -mwindows, 
i.e. as GUI?
And am I the only one for whom this has further consequences?

E.g. in a Windows command prompt or a non-X11 cygwin-console, the command
    run sleep -wait 5
does *not* wait for the sleep to terminate. Moreover
    run false -wait
does *not* set %errorlevel% to 1.
