Did you install the ash package?

Sorry but I can't reproduce that.  Neither does the title change nor
does it show `sh' or `bash' at all (given I have set CYGWIN=...title...).

I have also substitutes my .vimrc by the vimrc_example.vim file you're
referring to.  Nothing happens.

I tried starting vim from tcsh, bash and even cmd but also to no avail.

Did you actually test it?
