This is because cygwin console handles SIGWINCH when the input
messages is processed. If the process does not call either read()
or select(), SIGWINCH will not be sent. This is the long standing
problem of the implementation and hard to fix.

Therefore, I expect the following code should work, however I
have noticed it does not.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
function outputText()
{
  local text=$1
  local -i textLength=${#text}

  local -i line="$(tput lines) / 2"
  local -i col="$(tput cols) / 2 - $textLength / 2"

  clear
  echo -en "\e[$line;${col}H$text"
}

trap "outputText 'Hello world!'" SIGWINCH

outputText 'Hello world!'
while true
do
  read # <- Call read here
done

This seems to be a bug of console code. I will submit a patch
for this issue.
