I've tried this, as described, using both Cygwin's git and MinTTY, and
using the Git for Windows versions, and both work just fine for me.
However...

...this is the same issue on GitHub as was reported at [0], however
in that email thread the problem occurred only when using the Windows
terminal emulators, calling git or less from within a PowerShell or cmd
window, *not* when using MinTTY.  I believe that's fixed in an upcoming
Cygwin release, per [1], although I don't know when that release will
happen, or how long it will take downstream projects like Git for
Windows to pick it up.

I'll put a comment on the Git for Windows issue now, more-or-less
duplicating the above.
