Give Mark Edgar's patch[*] a try.  With it applied, screen behaves
better under Cygwin for me.  Reattaching from the same terminal and
multi-display mode both work.  There are still some problems, however.
 Detaches sometimes get hung.  Opening a new terminal and running
'screen -list' will cause the hung detach to complete most of the
time.
