I guess it's more about the configuration of tmux. There is in fact a 
cursor style setting sequence that mintty newly supports.
Please make a terminal log and check whether ^[[34h (ESC [ 3 4 h) 
appears during tmux initialization. If so, however, the assumption is 
that tmux sends it on purpose, so the blame is on tmux :/ My tmux 
configuration does not change the cursor, like Roger's, by the way.
About an option to suppress dynamic changes of cursor style, that might 
indeed be useful. I assume, though, that it should uniformly also 
suppress the DEC sequence (DECSCUSR). Or should different cursor 
attributes be addressable separately? (shape, blinking, colour??, even 
hiding???)
Design proposals welcome.
Thomas
