Thanks for the report.

I looked into this problem, and found this issue is not a bug of
SDL2/SDL3 package.

Attached simple test case also reproduces the same issue.

I also found the following patch against cygwin1.dll resolves
the issue. I'll submit the patch to cygwin-patches mailing list
after aome more review by myself.
