The problem with the key sequence only occurs in the cygwin console. You can avoid it by setting CYGWIN=tty *before* starting the console (in Cygwin.bat, for instance). Alternatively, use a different terminal (mintty or rxvt). These and other suggestions can be found in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/emacs.README (cygwin 1.7 only).
