Mintty is based on that pty layer, along with other terminals such as rxvt or xterm, whereas the Windows console window you get through cygstart is not." I've tested it with several versions of Cygwin all the way back to 1.7.7. It might be worth following up with the author through the support ticket yourself, as he seems to believe that the error lies with Cygwin's pty and cannot be fixed in mintty.
