The problem is in the MS-Win term program. If you report
it to them and tell them it only misbehaves when you have a 3rd
party app injecting "dll's" (libraries) into the MS-program, they
will _likely_ tell you that they can't support every 3rd party
program that injects libraries into MS programs, and they can only
support you running it without the 3rd party programs.
Just like cygwin devs have noticed that various
other programs
(see BLODA:https://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#faq.using.bloda )
are known for causing problems in cygwin. The cygwin devs can't
support all the 3rd party programs that interfere.

As I said before, python is probably picking up time-zone
changes from _both_ cygwin and windows. The workaround is to use
the appropriate version of python with the correct OS. Cygwin is
an OS emulation, Win10 is another OS. They both have versions of
python designed for them. If MS thought the cygwin version of python
was good enough for every purpose, they wouldn't have issued their
own version.
You might ask on a python list if anyone else has experienced
something similar with python or any other program. I'm fairly sure
that neither MS nor cygwin design their OS with python in mind and
that it is python that is interacting funny when running under some
merge of both. Have you asked the python people about this problem?
What did they suggest?

Just because they don't tell you to never run linux apps
directly in cygwin doesn't mean they support it if you insist on
trying. Most devs won't tell you all the things you can't do, because
that list is endless. That certainly doesn't suggest that they would
support all the things that don't work.

When you say you run the Win python on cygwin, what do you
mean? ... I just ran python from windows (not the same version you
have, but an old one python2.7. I ran it from bash, but the resulting
python doesn't have any cygwin libraries loaded -- that tells me that python is looking at some absolute paths and the environment and picking
up both -- it's a MS-python "bug".
Look in its environment and remove any thing for timezone and try that.
Or look in your path and make sure there are no cygwin directories
in the path that your win-python is using. I'm pretty sure that
will solve your problem.
FWIW, here is a list of what python running from 'bash.exe' from
cygwin has loaded -- and none of it is from cygwin:

I really shouldn't have bothered with this basic debugging after you
got all testy w/me, I'm not a cygwin developer, just a general
computer scientist, trying to use common sense.
FWIW, listdlls is a sysinternals tool from microsoft.
