Maybe I missed your point too but I'll point out that I've been able to 
copy and paste between non-cygwin and cygwin (console) applications for
years so long as "QuickEdit Mode" was enabled in the console properties
(on NT-based systems anyway.)  I don't know if the technique you've 
discovered is related to that or not.  I have no experience with trying
to copy and paste to non-console cygwin apps from non-cygwin apps though.
