I would not expect a Windows program to be compatible with cygwin in 
subtleties like exchanging signals.
The behaviour can be reproduced with any Windows program, e.g. notepad.
I don't know which Windows mechanism is used for transferring signals to 
another process but certainly the Windows gvim does not have the cygwin 
framework to receive the signal and handle it in a POSIX way.

Could signal transfer possibly use Windows in a way that does not have 
this effect? (Windows experts...)
