That will only be recognized on systems with a recent terminfo, Linux
mostly.  I change it to rxvt since I use Solaris most of the time, and
it doesn't recognize cygwin or any derivatives (of course I could modify
terminfo).

With a Windows console TERM is set to cygwin, which explains the other
answer you found.

The problem is not on Cygwin, but on the other end, whatever it is... as
I said, I don't see the problem with either Solaris or Linux (several
versions of both).

A workaround could be to use vim (which is the usual vi on Linux) or any
of the other variants of vi.

A solution depends on what the real problem is, vim has options to not
load plugins (which many times are a PITA), not use .vimrc, and to
change the terminal type; I would use those to see if the problem is
caused by any of those 3.
