I'm on Win7 64-bit with 64-bit Cygwin 2.6.0(0.304/5/3).

To clarify, the above occurs with bash 4.3.46(7) in a Windows console, and I see the behavior there as well.
This does not happen with the same bash in mintty 2.7, so it appears to be specific to the combination of bash and the Windows console.
