How do you do that?  In "emacs -Q", "M-x shell" does not invoke Bash,
unless you do something else.

Neither do I.  FWIW, if I do this from MSYS Bash:

  ./src/emacs -Q
  M-x shell RET
  bash
  ./autogen.sh

it runs happily to completion and says I can run './configure'.  I
have no idea why it doesn't work for you.
