For TERM=cygwin it seems that there are no initialization strings to
print anyway:

$ infocmp -1 cygwin|grep -P "is\d"

Here there exists "is2":

$ infocmp -1 xterm|grep -P "is\d"
        is2=\E[!p\E[?3;4l\E[4l\E>,

$ infocmp -1 rxvt|grep -P "is\d"
        is1=\E[?47l\E=\E[?1l,
        is2=\E[r\E[m\E[2J\E[H\E[?7h\E[?1;3;4;6l\E[4l,

So, as a workaround you could probably just use "tput is2".  Although
maybe you should explain what you're trying to achieve since for
TERM=cygwin none of this is going to do anything in any case, even if
"tput init" worked.
