By default, SHELLOPTS is a shell variable and moving it to the environment causes all shell options to propagate to child shells. This may break scripts in a confusing way, so it is not a good idea to recommend it without at least providing a warning.

Perhaps cygwin-install-action could provide an option to set up BASH_ENV with a file containing set -o igncr. setup-ocaml does this when configuring cygwin.
