FWIW I run NT4.0 and use a link to cygwin.bat on my
desktop. cygwin.bat reads:

@echo off
d:
chdir \cygwin\bin
bash --login -i

The terminal window bash runs in does have the Cygwin icon. When I
logout, there is no "Terminate batch jobs" question. What you're
describing apparently is a new M$ feature.

regards,
Markus
