I've noticed this as well, and it seems to be a difference between
/dev/consX and /dev/ptyX ttys. Mintty seems to work fine, whereas
cmd.exe or Console2 (basically a cmd wrapper) cannot CTRL+C on the
command line to abort it. Ctrl+C does, however, issue a SIGINT for a
running process.

This issue has come up a lot in the mailing list archives, but at the
time all solutions pointed to using the "CYGWIN=tty" environment
variable -- which has been removed in the latest updates.
