Looks like you need to bounce this upstream by raising this issue on
https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/new stating that file D'n'D to cmd works
but mintty doesn't, and copying the background, and Windows, Cygwin, and mintty

mention that the Options/Text Locale and Charset boxes are unset, just in case
that could have an effect.
