This is a terminal issue.  The key bindings work fine if you run emacs 
under X (which is the way I almost always use it) or under mintty.  They 
probably work under rxvt also, but I haven't tried that.  You may have 
to remove tty from your CYGWIN variable if you use these other 
terminals.  (I'm not positive about that.)

The emacs maintainer has been having problems building new versions.  See

    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-02/msg00354.html

If no one else volunteers, I'll offer to help get it done.  At this 
point, however, it probably makes sense to wait for emacs 23, which 
should be released fairly soon.  Also, emacs 22 and 23 need to be built 
with gcc4, and I'd like to wait until that's no longer experimental.  If 
you're impatient, you can install Angelo Graziosi's build:
