The GfW maintainer had already spotted the bug (in the msys2-runtime, IUUC) like some two hours ago -- see the bug #711 in the GfW tracker.

I'm pretty sure a fix will result in a corrected installer being released. If you can't wait for it for some reason and have to use 2.8.0, you could build GfW from the sources with the commit I mentioned having been reverted before the build).
