The problem with the key sequence only occurs in the cygwin console. 
You can avoid it by setting CYGWIN=tty *before* starting the console (in 
Cygwin.bat, for instance).  Alternatively, use a different terminal 
(mintty or rxvt).  These and other suggestions can be found in 
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/emacs.README (cygwin 1.7 only).
