It seems to be the magic of the ConPTY handling (either on cygwin side 
or on Windows side) to replay the title escape sequence after the 
program has been sent to the background. Your log does not yet reveal 
the whole story, though:
Is it repeatedly only initially (as seen two lines below "emacs &") or 
more often as might be assumed by your symptom description?
