I'm a Cygwin newbie, although a long time UNIX/Linux user, but here's an
idea: check that you have ncurses
cygcheck --check-setup | grep ncurses
and maybe try reinstalling them

libncurses5         5.2-1
libncurses6         5.2-8
ncurses             5.2-8

You could also check that `env | grep -i term` output makes sense to you
