Have you tried logout in the SIGHUP handler?  I just tried the following
on my installation, and the history is saved when I click the close
button:

    $ myclosefn() {
      logout
    }
    $ trap myclosefn SIGHUP

I tested this by double-clicking the "Cygwin" icon, entering the
commands above, and clicking the close button.  Once I double-click
the Cygwin icon again, doing a 'history | tail' will show the
commands above.
