 hopefully a fix could be available.

That would be a bash/readline problem, not a mintty problem. Shift+F12
in mintty sends the same keycode that xterm sends: '\e[24;2~'. I
suspect though that it is simply a case of vi mode interpreting that
keycode in some vi-ish way. A vi expert will have to pronounce on
that.
