It's most likely implementation specific.  I tried your example on HP-UX
and it tried to write to /usr/share/lib/terminfo and of course I don't
have write access to that directory.  I specified the TERMINFO variable
to ~/.terminfo and it wrote out the data.

I have better luck, leaving the TERM setting on Cygwin side as cygwin
and changing the TERM setting on the remove side to one that is commonly
available for that system. E.G.: export TERM=xterms.

Cheers,
Earnie.
