Interesting feature or bug of MinTTY that does not obtain with any other
terminal emulator with which I'm familiar.

To wit:

If you have a running synchronous script or command to the screen and you
type ^l (Ctrl-l) it will immediately clear the screen before the ongoing
command terminates.

My feeling is that it doesn't matter, but that the behavior is different
from other virtual terminals.
