It's not as odd as you might think actually.  Take a look at the 'tty' 
option for
the CYGWIN environment variable in 
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html>.
If you add that to the CYGWIN environment variable and start a new command 
prompt
window running a Cygwin shell (or use cygwin.bat), you'll see the same 
behavior you
don't like about the other terminal types.  So a command prompt running a 
Cygwin
shell without this setting is your alternative right now.
