Give Mark Edgar's patch[*] a try. With it applied, screen behaves better under Cygwin for me. Reattaching from the same terminal and multi-display mode both work. There are still some problems, however. Detaches sometimes get hung. Opening a new terminal and running 'screen -list' will cause the hung detach to complete most of the time.
